If you've got an urge to sock away something in your IRA besides stocks, bonds and mutual funds, you may want to consider real estate. Raw land, houses, condos, commercial properties and even mortgage notes -- you can use an IRA to broaden your portfolio.
You can't buy real estate with your basic IRA; you need to open a self-directed IRA.
Investing in real estate gives you more control than investing in the stock market.
A truly self directed IRA custodian, such as Entrust, allows those types of investments in addition to real estate, notes, private placements, tax lien certificates and much more.
