Jeff, Joel, and the entire staff over at Broad Financial have been very informative, insightful, and attentive. Making this move to a self-directed IRA with checkbook control is one of the best things I could have done to take control of my financial future. There is a learning curve, but as with anything, the amount of time you put into it is what you get out of it and it's WORTH IT! This self-directed IRA has put control of my investments back into my hands. Now I'm able to TRULY diversify into other asset classes without the limitation presented by traditional 401K's. I'm excited to reap the rewards of my new financial freedom!
