Mistakes to Avoid
Mistakes to Avoid with a Self-Directed IRA
A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) offers significant flexibility and investment opportunities, but missteps can lead to penalties, tax liabilities, or disqualification of your account. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:
1. Engaging in Prohibited Transactions
The IRS has strict rules on what you can and cannot do with your SDIRA funds. Prohibited transactions include:
- Using your IRA to purchase property you or family members personally use
- Lending money to yourself or a disqualified person (e.g., spouse, children, parents)
- Receiving direct benefits from your IRA investments
Avoidance Tip: Keep all transactions at arm’s length. Work with a qualified custodian and ensure your investments comply with IRS regulations.
2. Failing to Diversify Your Investments
Many SDIRA investors put all their funds into a single asset—such as real estate or precious metals—without diversifying. This increases risk if the asset underperforms.
Avoidance Tip: Consider a balanced mix of alternative assets like real estate, precious metals, private equity, and traditional securities to spread risk.
