I have heard of some very creative and lucrative ways of investing
retirement savings recently.I must first say I am not an expert by any
measure.The most interesting ideas I have seen lately involve putting
retirement money into Self-Directed IRA's,then lending funds to a Real
Estate investment,that is well chosen of course.The returns I have
heard others speak of are tremendous,and one of the main benefits have
to do with you having better control and judgment,over what is done
with your money.You do have to educate yourself as to what is a safe
R.E. investment,and I would caution against listening to the high
pressure,miracle promising "GURU's",such as all the really well known
ones.But I have seen folks become well educated in a relatively short
time,and I think it is more interesting and fun as well as having much
higher and safer returns than any other ventures,and R.E. has some
great tax-saving features.dale
ps. To find R.E. Investment clubs near you,I suggest going to
Meetup.com,and CREonline,they are both resources that will connect
you..Happy investing
