Self Directed IRA for Investing

[Adrienne Medina]

Hi all! I have had a Self Directed IRA for about 5 years that has just been rotting...zero interest and a 3 digit account maintenance fee deduction every year by the holder. I need to do something with this money! There is a decent amount in there but not enough to buy a property. It would be enough for a down payment on a home but being a 1099 employee it is rather difficult to obtain traditional financing. Any recommendations on how I can invest with this IRA?
