Solo 401(k) DEEP DIVE w/Jordan Sheppherd: Checkbook Control of Your Retirement Account

Solo 401(k) DEEP DIVE w/Jordan Sheppherd: Checkbook Control of Your Retirement Account

Author: Matt Franklin - entrepreneur, investor, consultant, video producer, retirement nerd June 24, 2021 Duration: 54:53

Today's episode is a deep-dive into the solo 401(k), which is a 'secret weapon' for solopreneurs. Did you know you can buy cryptocurrencies, gold, real estate, or even a race horse with a solo 401(k)???

Log onto E*Trade and try to buy investment real estate within your IRA. You can't do it. And that's why you need a solo 401(k). Not to mention, the SUPER-HIGH contribution limits.

Jordan Sheppherd has helped hundreds of people set up solo 401(k) plans. He's an expert in this stuff and he's a really cool dude.

Self-direction is an amazing opportunity that I believe all self-employed people should take advantage of. But don't take my word for it; check out this episode and find out for yourself.

Disclosure: I hired Jordan to set up my solo 401(k) a few years back, and it was the single most important decision I've made in my retirement planning process.
