We recently had the opportunity to attend Equity Trust Company’s “Equity University” event here in Northern California. If you’re interested in learning more about how to invest your IRA into alternative investments (like trust deeds — aka private real estate notes, real estate, tax liens and other instruments that aren’t exchange-traded), this seminar provides an excellent introduction.
Designed with newbies in mind, the seminar starts with a clear overview of IRS law (what you can/can’t invest in), an explanation of what self-direction is all about, and some examples of how tax liens and private real estate notes have worked for other investors. Attendees are invited to provide questions for discussion that will guide the day’s content. Best of all, the full-day seminar is very affordable in comparison to other IRA investing courses.
