I just got back from a 3-day Alternative Asset Summit in Scottsdale, AZ. This was hosted by Directed IRA with the emphasis on using your Self-Directed IRA to invest and build Wealth. This is a topic
has talked about extensively in this forum. One evening, at a hosted dinner, they had a panel of 3 investors with 8 & 9 figure Roth IRAs. The testimony here is building wealth in your SDIRAs is possible. You can do it, too.
