The IRA is treated the same way as your current IRA for tax purposes, but you will have the ability to invest in assets such as real estate that are not handled by the mainstream brokerages.There are two types of self-directed IRA plans, and a lot of good info here on BP on the topic.IRA Custodians hold accounts and do the processing, but just have a different business model that supports documenting the IRA's investments into things like real property, notes, etc.
