I spent some time reading about the concept of having a Roth IRA put a down payment, get a mortgage, and buy a rental property. It seemed to me there were too many things that could go wrong, but that was when I saw "self directed" | |

You can direct the money in the IRA to a index fund, or a actively managed fund, or an ETF, or individual investments. Or any combination of those options. The presence of a financial advisor is not linked to the place you park the IRA. | |
