Self-Directed IRA Custodian

[Zachary Metler]

Hello. I recently moved 401(k) $ from a previous job to a Traditional and Roth IRA at Schwab. I am now looking to move these funds to a self-directed IRA custodian to be used for real estate investing. From asking around I hear Equity Trust Company is the best choice as custodian. Who has used them and what has your experience been? Other custodians you'd recommend? Any specific questions I should ask or things to look out for? Thanks in advance for you input!
