Notes in an SDIRA

[Mark Senecal]

I am new to real estate investing and still work a full time job.  I don't have much time or energy at the end of the day so I need something passive.

People have been recommending notes to me.  I don't know very much about them and want to know how to get started.  I have an SDIRA to use for funding.  Are notes practical in an SDIRA?

Thanks - Mark

Mark, Here are some of the reasons why a SDIRA might be right for you — or not:

Notes can be practical in a SDIRA, esp. a Roth IRA. Make sure that the notes are high quality and unlikely to go into default.

Some books to consult are "The Ultimate Guide To Self-Directed Retirement Plans" by Thom Garlock; Steve Case's book "Tax Free Note Investing," and "Your IRA Can Buy Notes & More" by John Merchant, J.D.
