Recommendations on best checkbook self-directed IRA custodians
I am interested in using my current IRA funds without tax consequences of early withdrawal. I
am curious what custodians are recommended for checkbook self-directed IRA's. Looking for
those who have or are currently using this method of funding real estate and can provide feedback
on good/bad experiences.

Hello Donald,
Custodians offer self-directed IRAs custodial services, they do not handle the "checkbook control" feature. For that you need to employ services of a facilitator company (there are several professionals here on BP who are active on the forum including myself). The experienced facilitator company will usually make a recommendation on which custodian to use. I suggest you contact few different providers to consult/interview them, look for recommendations from other clients who used their services. This due diligence will help you make a decision who to use.
