What should you know about Checkbook IRAs/LLCs?

Less Custodial Involvement

With checkbook control, you don’t have to coordinate individual transactions with your custodian.

Higher Investor Responsibility

A Checkbook IRA affords a greater degree of flexibility but also warrants more responsibility on the part of the investor. When investors have direct access to their retirement funds, there is an increased risk of performing a prohibited transaction.
