Moment 001 - Understanding the Four Types of IRAs: Roth, Traditional, SEP, and Simple 4:50

7 weeks ago4:50

4:50

The salient focus of this discussion revolves around the intricacies of converting various retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs, emphasizing both the advantages and potential challenges inherent in this process. We elucidate the four primary types of IRAs: Roth, Traditional, SEP, and Simple, each characterized by distinct features and contribution limits. The dialogue further distinguishes between traditional custodians, who primarily engage with stocks and bonds, and alternative custodians, exemplified by Preferred Trust, which facilitate investments in alternative assets. Notably, we explore the appeal of SEP IRAs among small business proprietors, particularly due to their substantially higher contribution limits compared to traditional IRAs and 401(k) plans. Additionally, the complexities associated with solo 401(k)s are briefly examined, underlining the necessity for a comprehensive understanding of IRS regulations when navigating this particular retirement vehicle. Takeaways: Converting various retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs allows for active real estate investment. The four primary types of IRAs include Roth, Traditional, SEP, and Simple IRAs, each with distinct characteristics. SEP IRAs are particularly advantageous for small business owners due to their high contribution limits. Traditional custodians typically restrict investments to stocks and mutual funds, unlike alternative custodians. The contribution limit for SEP IRAs is significantly higher than that for 401k plans, making them appealing. Solo 401ks involve more complex regulations and reporting requirements compared to SEP IRAs, necessitating thorough knowledge of IRS rules.…
