SDIRA w/Checkbook control: CPA Special Advisor Fee?

[Matthew Orme]

Hi All - I'm just starting the process of rolling a portion of an old 401k into a self directed IRA, w/checkbook control. Im still doing some due diligence on which custodian will be the best to go with.I have been told by one custodian(Pensco Trust) that I will need to have a "special Advisor" attached to my self directed IRA/LLc. My questions is does anyone know what this typically costs? Also, is this common practice across all custodians.

Thanks!

Matt
