Single family housing looks messy right now. Rates, affordability, and sentiment are all pulling in different directions.
This is not a lack of opportunity. It’s a lack of clarity.
Times like this are gold for deal makers.

Today I’m joined by Paul Herbes of Equity Institutional Services for a deep dive into self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) and how investors use them to move capital from Wall Street into real estate, private placements, 1031 exchanges, solo 401(k)s, and other alternative assets.
Most investors don’t realize they can use retirement funds to invest in real estate or private deals. Paul breaks down exactly how SDIRAs work, the role of a true custodian, what’s allowed (and not allowed), how investors diversify into alternatives, and why so many people are shifting their portfolios away from traditional stocks and mutual funds.
We cover:
• What a self-directed IRA really is
• Why “self-directed” is often a marketing term
• How SDIRAs fund real estate, syndications, secured notes & private equity
• Checkbook IRAs, solo 401(k)s, and 1031 exchanges
• Typical investor behavior when moving from Wall Street to Main Street
• Risks, rewards, and misconceptions about alternative investments
• Minimums, investor requirements, and what custodians actually do
• How job changes free up old 401(k)s for SDIRA investing
• What investment sponsors must provide to onboard their offerings
• Why real estate is the #1 alternative asset for new SDIRA investors
If you’re curious about using retirement funds to invest outside the stock market, this conversation is a great place to start.
