“Sure,” you might say, “These Self-Directed IRAs sound like the perfect strategy for my retirement. The only problem is, I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to this sort of stuff. I don’t know what the best approach to setting up a Self-Directed IRA is, and I don’t know where to get from here.”

Okay, so that’s a highly specific take on how some of you might feel. But have you ever felt the same emotion as expressed in the previous paragraph?

The First Step: Have you Consulted the FAQs?

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions – are some of the best resources for anyone who is truly starting out as a beginner. When you first encounter something new, chances are that any of the questions you have has already been asked before by people who were once in your situation. With that in mind, you could do a lot to learn from those questions. Skip directly to the FAQs because chances are, you’ve got a question or two there that mimics what you’re thinking.

Where can you find these FAQs? Simple. You can Google around for them, or you can follow our direct FAQ link and start reading all about Self-Directed IRAs from the point of view of a beginner. If you’re truly starting out, it can be an invaluable way to start out on a new journey toward investment success.

Online Videos, Explanations, and Seminars

The world of online videos is so big now that it can be tremendously valuable. The only problem is that the world of online videos is so big that it can be difficult to discern which videos are actually going to be worth your investment of time. Even if the videos are free, you’re still going to want to know ahead of time if the time you spend on them will be worth it.

Fortunately, we can point you in the right direction. Our Self-Directed IRA Video Library is a great way to get started if you’re better at listening to new sentiments than simply reading them off of an online FAQ. You can also browse the Internet at large to learn more about Self-Directed videos, though we can’t necessarily guarantee that you’ll always strike the right video click after click.
