Self-Directed IRA Investing – Tax Deferred or Tax Free

Tax deferred investing is great – tax free investing is greater!

In this article we will show you the amazing impact of compound interest.

Self-Directed IRA Account

A self-directed “IRA Account” is an individual retirement account that provides tax advantages for retirement savings. The self-directed “IRA” account is administered by a “custodian” or “administrator” who does not act as an investment advisor. The account owner makes all investment decisions and is completely responsible for the outcomes of the investments. This is an important fact.

The two main types of self-directed IRAs that we will discuss here are the “Traditional IRA” and the “Roth IRA.” Both offer tax-free growth. Their individual rules, regulations and tax advantages are detailed and specific. Those legal rules and regulations are not a subject of this article.

The purpose of this article is to explain and focus on the long-term financial benefits that result from tax deferred and tax fee investing. Additionally, one particular type of investment vehicle will be used to demonstrate these benefits-the Promissory Note.

The Benefit of Using a Promissory Note to Generate Cash-Flow

The Promissory Note is ideally suited for use in a high cash-flow, tax deferred, or tax free investing situation. If properly structured, the Promissory Note provides consistent monthly cash income that can be compounded over many years. The compounding effect of money over time produces excellent long-term results.

Tax Deferred or Tax Free Compounding Interest

As an example let’s assume the following:

I.$50,000.00 promissory note, payable monthly, interest only, at 7.0% annual interest, balloon balance of $50,000.00 due after 84 months-7 years.

  1. A taxable account at a 30.0% Income Tax Rate: $291.67 monthly interest income X 12 months = $3,500.00 annually, less Income Tax of $1,050.00 =$2,450.00 available to reinvest annually at 7.0%.
  2. $2,450.0 invested annually for the next six years (six…

What Is a Promissory Note? What Are They Used for?

A promissory note is a written contract between parties-a borrower and a lender– signed by the borrower. It contains an unconditional promise to pay a certain amount of money on demand, or in installment payments over a period of time. It is used in a financing transaction – a lending transaction. The individual who promises to pay is the maker (borrower), and the person to whom payment is promised is called the payee or holder (lender). The loan transaction can be secured or unsecured. A secured loan has specified property pledged to cover the repayment if the borrower defaults on making the payments. Another form of collateral security is a co-signor. A co-signor, or a guarantor, is a person who agreements in writing to repay the debt if the borrower defaults. This means that the holder (lender) protects his financial interest by using the maker's collateral security or the maker's co-signer. If the maker fails to pay according to the agreement, the holder can foreclose on...

Promissory Note Frauds and Tricks

I have been actively engaged in the promissory note business for over 40 years. My and my wife’s self-directed IRA accounts have been invested in notes for the same length of time. My note investments have been the foundation of my estate building. Because I believe that promissory notes can be an excellent investment vehicle for the average investor, I try will try explain what they are and how they work. But, I will also point out that notes can be misused and abused by dishonest people and by ignorant people. This article is the first of several articles in which I will attempt to inform the average investor about the benefits and warn the average investor about the detriments of investing in notes. Obviously, there is no perfect investment. Just as cars do not injure and kill people (bad drivers do), promissory notes do not trick and harm people (dishonest or ignorant sellers of promissory notes do). What Promissory Notes Are: Generally, promissory notes are a form of debt simil...

5 Steps to Becoming a Master Investor

Diversify – Diversification is a powerful investment tool that helps you reduce the risk of holding aggressive investments. Diversifying simply means that you should hold a variety of investments that do not move in tandem in various market environments (for instance bull and bear markets). You do not need 50 different funds in order to diversify. You can diversify with five, at the most 10, mutual funds or ETFs. Keep fees to a minimum – For both mutual funds and exchange traded funds you can look at the 'total expense ratio. "The best case is an expense ratio less than 1%, and certainly no higher than 2%. have to watch out for "sales load". Be aware of your time frame – Match your time frame to the investment. For example, for money that you expect to use within the next year, focus on low-risk investments such as money market funds, certificates of deposit or US government bonds. Ignore the "gurus" – Pay no attention to the fortune-tellers and pro...
