Self directed IRAs are fairly specialized and are not offered by most brokerages. They also generally cost several hundred in annual fees just to maintain the account, regardless of usage.
- notyourwork 8y agoThat’s not true at all, fidelity is self managed and free aside from selling or stock. I’ve managed my own Roth and traditional Ira for years this way.
