At Imagine IRA, we believe your retirement portfolio should reflect your goals, interests, and expertise. That’s why we offer a wide range of investment options—both traditional and alternative—so you can build a truly diversified retirement strategy. Here’s a closer look at some of the exciting opportunities available to you:
Real estate is one of the most popular alternative investments for self-directed IRAs. You can use your IRA to purchase residential properties, commercial buildings, raw land, or even participate in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Real estate offers the potential for rental income, long-term appreciation, and portfolio diversification.
Examples:
• Single-family homes
• Multi-unit apartments
• Office buildings
• Undeveloped land
With a Checkbook IRA structure, your IRA can own an LLC, giving you “checkbook control” over your retirement funds. This allows you to act quickly on investment opportunities and manage assets directly, all while maintaining the tax advantages of your IRA.
Benefits:
• Enhanced control and flexibility
• Streamlined transactions
• Ability to invest in multiple asset types
Protect your portfolio from inflation and market volatility by investing in physical precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Your IRA can hold approved bullion and coins, providing a tangible store of value and a hedge against economic uncertainty.
Eligible Metals:
• Gold and silver bars
• Certain government-minted coins
• Platinum and palladium
Secured notes and trust deeds allow your IRA to act as a lender, earning fixed interest income backed by real estate or other collateral. These investments can offer attractive, predictable returns while providing security through the underlying asset.
Types:
• Mortgage notes
• Deeds of trust
• Secured cash flow notes
Participate in private businesses, limited partnerships, or private equity deals through your IRA. These investments can offer significant growth potential and access to unique opportunities not available in public markets.
Opportunities:
• Private company stock
• Limited partnerships (LPs)
• Private placement memorandums (PPMs)
Your IRA can issue loans to individuals or businesses, earning interest income over time. These loans can be secured or unsecured, and terms are customizable to fit your investment strategy.
Examples:
• Personal loans
• Business loans
• Promissory notes
Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets have emerged as a new frontier in investing. With a self-directed IRA, you can allocate a portion of your retirement savings to cryptocurrencies, offering the potential for high growth and diversification beyond traditional markets.
Benefits:
• Potential for significant appreciation
• Portfolio diversification
• 24/7 global market access
Considerations:
• High volatility
• Secure storage and compliance are essential
Commodities are tangible assets such as oil, natural gas, agricultural products, and precious metals. Investing in commodities through your IRA can help hedge against inflation and provide exposure to global economic trends.
Examples:
• Energy resources (oil, gas)
• Agricultural products (wheat, corn)
• Industrial metals (copper, aluminum)
Benefits:
• Inflation protection
• Diversification from stocks and bonds
Tax lien certificates are unique investments that allow you to purchase the right to collect unpaid property taxes, often with attractive interest rates. If the property owner fails to pay, you may even have the opportunity to acquire the property.
Benefits:
While alternative assets offer exciting opportunities, traditional investments remain a cornerstone of many retirement portfolios. With Imagine IRA, you can invest in:
Options:
For those seeking higher growth potential and willing to accept more risk, investing in startups and private equity can be a compelling option. Your IRA can participate in private placements, venture capital, and direct investments in early-stage companies.
Benefits:
