With that.....QST: Because this is a divorce situation, can this be done without tax implications in this case just like any other IRA transfers in a divorce situation?

You couldn't make a $25K contribution in one year to the traditional IRA.

This makes Mezzanine Debt particularly suitable for self-directed IRAs as it avoids UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) risk and offers easier tax reporting via 1099-INT.

Hi @Mindy JensenI would recommend @Carl Fischer to talk about Self Directed IRA Investing.I also think these guys could make for some interesting guests:- @Douglas Skipworth- @Brecht Palombo- @Paul Moore

If you need to tap into equity before institutional options are available, i would turn to private money and see if someone is willing to lend you their idol funds or self directed IRA funds. 

Consider investing in low-cost index funds or ETFs, as they provide broad market exposure and diversification.Utilizing tax-advantaged accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs can help maximize your retirement savings.

The right move is for folks to have 3 income streams + SS going into retirement. 401k/IRA, Real Estate, 1 other business.

And yet people put funds (often 100% of their retirement funds) in to IRAs and 401ks for 40 years with zero cash flow.

As long as your IRA is not a Roth IRA and your 401k is not with a current employer, you should be able to transfer all assets to whichever structure works best for you.

@Tiffany McKinney 22 years seems like a Llong time for an IRA investment.
