Other Investments
Self-directed IRAs give you freedom from common investment constraints. You have options other than stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Invest in assets that can do as well, if not better, than these standard assets. The fact is, alternative investment options are endless. The two assets you cannot invest in are life insurance and collectibles.
The most common asset in a self-directed plan is real estate. But, there are many other assets from which you can choose. Start building your retirement income with alternative investments today!

More assets:
- Accounts Receivable
- Commercial Paper
- Oil and Gas (see below for more info)
- Mineral Rights
- Equipment Leasing
- Structured Settlements
- Timber Land
- Building Bonds
- Limited Partnerships
- Rights or Warrants
- Tax Liens and Deeds
The key is to invest in what you know and understand. Use your knowledge when choosing assets for your retirement plan. The above are a few popular options.
