Self Directed IRA suggestions?

[Greg W.]

Hey All,

I've become interested in the idea of a self directed IRA as I'm growing increasingly put off by my Edward Jones dude trying to convince me that a 6% rate of return is awesome. I'm also looking into the prospects of a self directed IRA because I'm intrigued by the idea of having tax liens within such an IRA.

That said, what self-directed IRA would you all recommend? Has anyone tried Guidant Financial? What are the pros and cons you all have experienced with a self directed IRA?
