🎙 Passive Cash Flow Podcast EP.185 | Self Directed IRA Rules You NEED to Know

Most people don’t realize their IRA doesn’t have to sit in a Fidelity account forever following whatever the S&P 500 does. In today’s episode, we break down how self-directed IRAs work, why only a small percentage of investors use them, and how taking control of your retirement can open the door to real estate, private funds, and alternative investments you actually understand.

We’re joined by Anne Marie Rogers of Inspira Financial to discuss:
✔ The difference between traditional and self-directed IRAs
✔ Why most Americans never hear about this option
✔ How alternative investing works inside retirement accounts
✔ Common mistakes and prohibited transactions
✔ How everyday investors can diversify like high-net-worth families
✔ What you can and can’t do with retirement funds

Whether you’re looking to roll over an old 401(k), diversify beyond the stock market, or simply understand your retirement options better, this episode gives you a clear roadmap to taking control of your nest egg.

• Guaranteed Growth: Money in the policy is guaranteed to grow tax-free.

• Leverage: You can borrow against your policy's cash value with a tax-free line of credit. This allows the money in the policy to continue growing uninterrupted while you invest the borrowed funds for a higher return.
