Because monies made on gains on real estate are taxable, unless it's an "even" 1031 exchange, you would be better off going with a Roth IRA because I don't see how you can take capital gains and deposit them pre-tax to an IRA.
With a Roth, you put in the gains after tax, and then will not have to pay any tax on your Self-Directed Roth, regardless of how much money accrues. That's the beauty of a Roth for someone in the real property business. You can lose it all or make a ton, and if you make a ton, you don't pay tax on the interest made from monies deposited. The amount you can deposit in this manner into the Roth is limited based on your income. Here's a primer on yahoo at this URL:

So rock on and go make a ton of money and open up a Roth. It's a great question and you are going to do great things.
Good luck.

I don't know about those two companies but I have my account with Guidant Financial. The main advantage obviously is you can utilize your retirement funds that might otherwise be lanquishing in a poor performing fund. In addition to real estate, you can invest in a business but the IRS is strict on the rules so you need to completely understand the ins and outs otherwise it could cost you. For instance, you are not going to be able to commingle or use the funds personally unless it is for the benefit of the fund so there is no running off to Hawaii with the proceeds unless you can show that it was to buy more real estate and actually look at some properties, etc.
GOOD LUCK

maximum Roth's are already self-directed, so there should be no situation there. And certain, a Roth does enable you to make investments in genuine sources. even if, this funding comes with a numbe4r of regulations - first, you won't be able to purchase or promote genuine sources to and from the Roth with a relative (which ability you won't be able to purchase your own abode). 2d, you won't be able to acquire products or amenities or provide products or amenities which includes your IRA. this suggests you won't be able to purchase a house and connect it up your self and promote it (which may be providing amenities) or in case you opt for to employ it, you won't be able to be the single searching tenants, amassing lease etc. which ability you could ought to apply a administration agency and contractors (and also you won't be able to use a relative both). also want to go back up with the money for interior the IRA to purchase and guard the sources without disposing of a private loan. shop in concepts also that you'll carry out no upkeep on the land itself, so the IRA (get a custodian) can ought to employ a backyard/grounds upkeep agency. And technically, upkeep might want to intend choosing up a scrap piece of paper on the backyard.
