If you have a self directed IRA account, chances are you use a financial advisor who charges you a fee for services. Depending on the type of client, financial planners have different ways of being compensated for their services. It could be fee only, fee based, commission based, salary based, or a combination arrangement and each has its own merits. Of these, fee only financial planners are considered the most practical. A fee only financial planner’s compensation comes solely from the client as a fixed or flat fee that could be hourly, a percentage or performance based.

What a fee only planner can help with

The financial planner’s advice is not restricted to retirement planning, self directed IRAs and non recourse loans. You also get help with setting investment goals and making a budget, setting targets for savings, calculating the amount of insurance you need, establishing retirement savings accounts, tax planning, home financing, IRA loans, and investment decisions.

Fee only planners usually state their fees up front, so there is no ambiguity.

They offer you a price list that indicates their fees for work done by the hour or by the task. Some planners also offer money management services and charge a percentage on a specific amount which relates to the size of the investment they manage. Some planners can also base their fee on the client’s total net worth. These planners give comprehensive services.

Because they specialize in planning and investment, you have the freedom to identify where you want to invest. They do not sell products. Once you pick your investment choices, your financial planner helps allocate the appropriate funds in each choice. Your planner can also help you decide which retirement account is right for you. If you decide to invest in real estate, they will advise you about IRA non recourse loans and their advantages.

Often, most of these financial advisors are people who have worked with traditional brokerage houses and may not be aware of all the investment options available. A majority tends to stick with securities. For instance, they may not be aware about what you can do with self directed IRA loans or that you can invest in property with a non recourse loan.

For self directed IRA holders, the financial planner should be aware that they can enjoy a return on investments by making IRA loans to others. With a real estate IRA you can also buy existing mortgages and promissory notes.
 
Fee-only and fee-based

There is a hairline difference between fee based and fee only financial advisors.  Fee based advisors differ from the fee only planners in that they sell products and earn a commission from sales of these products. So you may end up incurring a fee for services and commissions for products. How much you pay will depend on what you invest in. You may also be offered a fee offset where they deduct the fee from the commission paid by you.  Since commissions are variable you may not realize that you have paid more than you should have.  Consult upfront fee disclosures to ensure payment is made for the proper amount.

So how do you save by opting for a fee only financial advisor?

Fee only financial advisors receive their fee from their clients. Since they do not promote products there are no commissions or sales incentives involved from investment partners. This results in savings for you, the investor and client, because commissions can sometimes reduce your return on investments. If the advisor promotes products, they could be biased about which ones to offer you.  

The goal of a financial advisor or planner is to help you get the maximum return from your investments. It is therefore critical to do a little research before identifying a competent and well-informed certified financial advisor who can help you leverage your investments.

Traditionally, custodians control IRA investments and may not always promote all the investments approved by the IRS. They have created the notion that stocks, bonds, CDs, annuities and mutual funds are the only investment options available. Over the past few years, there has been an increasing awareness about the use and advantages of self directed IRA accounts. Many savvy investors have begun to move away from the volatile stock market, and divest into alternative investment available through a self directed IRA.

Self directed IRA accounts allow individuals to enjoy diversified investments not readily available through most custodians. Almost any investment in allowed except: collectibles (such as coins, artworks, stamps, etc.) and life insurance contracts. If your financial planner does not offer any of the investment options that are allowed by the IRS, it may mean the time has come to approach another financial planner more familiar with self directed IRA accounts.

The Self Directed IRA as a wealth builder

The self directed IRA is an effective tool that you can use to build your wealth while putting total control in your hands.  One of the reasons why your financial planner may not have explored all the investment opportunities available with an SDIRA is that their services may no longer be required, resulting in loss of revenue to them from your retirement account.  The latest IRS rules make it easy for you to invest your IRA account in alternative investments.

You can put money into commercial and residential real estate IRAs, buy a business entity, loan your money for mortgages, notes, tax liens and foreclosed properties. You can be the manager of your property. If you do not have all the funds to invest in real estate, you can opt for an IRA loan to leverage your investment. A real estate loan obtained with your self directed IRA must be a non recourse loan.

If you have not heard of a self directed IRA before, it is possible that your financial planner does not deal with all the investment options that are allowed. For example, if your financial planner is a bank, your investment options are limited primarily to CDs. If it is a brokerage firm, you can only invest in stocks and bonds. Moreover, since your financial planner more or less manages your entire retirement account, they may not want to present you with investment options from which they cannot earn revenue. After all, their services are offered for a fee. To protect their fees, they may withhold information, offer very sketchy details, or discourage any alternative investments altogether.

It is also likely that your current financial planner assumes that you don’t want to control your own retirement investments, simply because its been implied it by them managing it for you.  Some people actually prefer to status quo their decision-making and leave it to an expert. In fact, many people are unaware that they can invest in real estate with their IRA. Those that want to, however, do make their own investment choices and enjoy tangible returns.  Real estate investments make a good choice particularly in combination with an IRA loan which, in addition to protecting your various IRA assets, also indemnifies you personally from all liability. You can also use your IRA loan to refinance a property you own free and clear in your self directed IRA.  Thus, a self directed IRA, potentially allows for larger and more profitable investment options, compared to traditional investments.

The whole purpose of professional indemnity insurance is to provide financial protection in the event that a claim is made against you for negligence. And typically, in the event of a claim, the insurance company pays out, the claimant receives full compensation, and that is pretty much the end of the matter. But occasionally, the individual or business against whom the claim was made feels that that they have to do more.

Having been advised by Futuro, a financial planning licensee based in Brisbane, to invest in an agribusiness that planned to develop an abalone farming business, clients were less than impressed when Australian Bight Abalone went into administration. The directors of Futuro could have, as many in their position would have, simply relied on their professional indemnity insurers to cover them against any claims of negligence made by investors.

But, as reported in theaustralian.com, Futuro’s Managing Director, Dennis Bashford, and his business partner, Paul Kelly, decided that they owed more to their clients and have invested a significant amount of Futuro’s money in a rescue plan which will leave the affected clients with a shareholding in a reconstructed company.

A heart-warming story indeed, but not one that should leave you thinking that you don’t need professional indemnity insurance.

Everyone has dreams, who doesnt? The common denominator in most of our dream is for us to be wealthy because in our minds, most of the worlds worries will be solved when people have enough money. This is all true because when wealth is distributed equally, most people are happy. But wealth doesnt come to us by itself. We have to invite it into our lives by committed financial planning and a serious undertaking of that commitment. We cannot be altogether wealthy but all of us can be financially secure when we pay the price for such a worthy goal. My dream is to be wealthy too and when I get my wealth, I will use it to help others. But first I have to see a financial planner to help me structure this dream and create a plan to make it happen.

Everyone needs financial advice whether to pay a mortgage or simply to ensure financial independence in retirement. It is therefore wise to get the very best out of a financial plan as early as we can and in this regard, choosing an experienced financial planner is critical. The advice that you pay for should be unique for your own particular circumstance and should work to help you achieve your financial and lifestyle goals. A financial advisor should be able to recommend an integrated financial plan that should at least cover debt management, estate planning, budgeted cash flow management, pre and post retirement strategies, taxation planning, and investment advice and planning, among others.

The first issue in sound financial planning advice is debt management. Debt is good provided it is managed to have a purpose in a persons lifestyle and wealth creation. Financial advisors will tell you that if debt is allowed to be the dominant source to fund a persons lifestyle then financial worries will always attend the borrower. The key to wealth creation, they say is, to spend less than what we earn and to maintain a spending budget only after savings. Our lifestyle should be in the equation of income minus savings is expense. This has been the advice given to a friend by a Brisbane financial advisor and she has been so grateful for it for it has paved the way for her to maintain control of her wants. Debt is good only when it will generate more income. If debt is used for consumption alone, it is a decision that we should discard.

Creating and maintaining wealth comes as we curb our spending habits. As we partner with experienced advisors, we will be able to come up with the best way to manage and maintain our hard-earned money. Nowadays when there are many enticements that lure us to spend for things that we dont really need, we must have a mentor to guide us in our financial decisions. Our prosperity will come as we plan for our financial future and keep committed at sticking to it even when it is hard for us at the start. As we gain discipline and see the results of our sacrifices, we will be eager to continue to build wealth and find means to making it grow. All it takes is the commitment to start.

The time to begin is now. The younger we start saving, the better for us. Building wealth from income is a long haul for the patient, the persevering, and the committed. But its rewards are fulfilling and great and will bring us financial independence now and through our retirement years. Its never too late to begin.
