In this episode of the Directed IRA Podcast, Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Kohler break down how investors can use a self-directed IRA, HSA, or solo 401(k) to invest in real estate and private lending. They cover the core strategies—rental properties, flips, land deals, and hard money loans—and explain how these accounts can be used to build wealth in a tax-advantaged way.

Mat and Mark also share real-world examples from their own investing experience, including buying rental properties inside retirement accounts, structuring private loans secured by real estate, and using Roth funds for high-growth opportunities. Along the way, they walk through the basic steps to get started, when an IRA/LLC may make sense, and the key prohibited transaction rules every investor needs to understand.

Whether you are brand new to self-direction or looking for a simple episode to share with someone who wants the big-picture overview, this is a practical introduction to investing retirement funds in assets you know and believe in.
