Many real estate investors get into real estate to supplement their retirement plans from their 401k and IRA accounts. Retirement planning is a key component to financial freedom, yet our current financial system is shackling many investors, according to Damion Lupo. He goes as far as to call the current financial model modern-day slavery. The big banks don't want you to know about the tools you can use to create financial freedom and control your own money. That's why Damion created a tool to help investors break free from the chains of big financial institutions to control their own retirement funds through his eQRP tool.

Damion is an entrepreneur and owner of 50 companies and the best-selling author of 11 books. He sees how financial institutions control where Americans invest their money and how they feed off of investors for their own personal gain. He explains the limitations that come from a 401k and while an IRA, particularly a Self-Directed IRA has more options, there are still limitations.

Damion shares his views on the financial services industry, why he feels the eQRP is a better fit than a 401k or SDIRA, and how UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) may impact investments through a retirement account.
