Avoiding Fraudulent Investments in a Self-Directed IRA

Self-Directed IRAs offer powerful investment flexibility, from real estate and private equity to precious metals and more. But with that flexibility comes risk, especially from fraudsters who prey on unsuspecting investors.

Because SDIRAs allow you to invest outside traditional brokerage firms, they require a greater level of personal due diligence.

Unfortunately, many investors fall victim to scams involving illegitimate real estate deals, fake startups, or high-return “guaranteed” schemes.

That’s why understanding how to spot and avoid SDIRA fraud is crucial to protecting your retirement nest egg.
