The Entrust Group even created its own Real Estate<\/a> IRA Center for individual investors and real estate professionals who wanted something more from their IRAs. The aim of the program? To help break down the Real Estate<\/a> IRA investment process, explain the paperwork required, and walk people through the various IRS regulations.<\/p>\n It was back in the early \u201980s when Bill Keller, a broker with Coldwell Banker in the Napa Valley region, first became familiar with The Entrust Group as his interest in assets, such as residential and commercial real estate and other non-traditional investments, continued to grow.<\/p>\n \u201cI was looking for some way to do my own investment, self-directed, and I couldn\u2019t find anything like that,\u201d says Keller. \u201cWhenever you looked into retirement, you had to buy stocks, and I wasn\u2019t a big fan of that,\u201d he adds. \u201cI wanted to do my own thing. I discovered The Entrust Group and learned that I could do some investments on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n For almost three decades, Keller has been a happy client of The Entrust Group, and being in the real estate game himself, he understood the money he could make by investing in real estate. Still, while investing in real estate with a self-directed IRA isn\u2019t too different from a regular real estate purchase, Keller needed guidance regarding the rules and processes that had to be followed to do it right.<\/p>\n \u201cI started with notes and deeds of trust, and I was able to really build up my retirement portfolio,\u201d he says. \u201cThere were never any problems. It worked so well that I convinced most of my associates to open up an account with The Entrust Group, and many of us have bought notes together thanks to their help.\u201d<\/p>\n In the beginning, Keller had a dedicated agent on behalf of The Entrust Group who was very knowledgeable about the business, and these days, he says The Entrust Group\u2019s entire team is just as aware of what\u2019s going on. In fact, Keller feels that service is one of the key features that makes the company stand out.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are always responsive and get the job done,\u201d says Keller. \u201cThey knew what we wanted to accomplish, were willing to listen and make things work for us. They are flexible and accommodating.\u201d<\/p>\n Keller estimates that he has done more than 100 deals with The Entrust Group over the years, and has seen his retirement portfolio grow exponentially.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s so important to get started on planning for retirement, and the sooner you do, the easier it is,\u201d says Keller. \u201cThese folks know all about it, and have made a big difference for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Find out how you can generate more referrals, leads and repeat business with your free download<\/a> of How to Help Your Clients Invest in Real Estate Tax-Free<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n![\"moneygrowth\"](\"http:\/\/rismedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/money_growth-300x200.jpg\")
