IRA LLC vs Direct Custody
Very active investors, who move on time-sensitive deals and capital calls, should take the time to open an IRA LLC. Setup is longer, but deal approvals, investments, and capital calls are instant. Investors looking for a streamlined white-glove experience for one investment can open a Direct Custody IRA. If you are a resident of California, opening a Direct Custody IRA will avoid California Franchise Board Tax fees.
You can review our two types of IRAs here.
Funding Options:
Funding a Rocket Dollar account is simple, as our team has created a patent-pending account transfer module, that allows customers to easily fund their Rocket Dollar account. There are three ways to get your account funded.
- Transfer in an existing IRA that you may have with another provider
- Roll over a 401(k) from a previous employer
- Make an Income Contribution to your account
