Hi Beau,
There is no doubt that self-directed IRAs are gaining popularity; however, one must understand the plan features offered by the plan provider upfront. Chances are that you lose investment flexibility as you go up the ladder, with a majority of big institutions limiting investment options. Further, these transactions could be a bit tricky considering the clause of not working with disqualified person in any form whatsoever.
