LAKE MARY, FL - Entrust Administrative Services, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts with assets of more than $200 million, launched the premier edition of its Capital Ideas radio program on radio station WORL-AM 660 recently with guest Doug Gale, president of REO America.Capital Ideas airs from 9 to 10 a.m. Sundays in the Orlando area. The program looks at investment opportunities and pitfalls for owners of self-directed retirement funds, with expert guests from the financial community, said Glen Mather, (top left photo) president of Entrust Administrative Services.
“Capital Ideas is a forum for discussions about how small investors can invest outside the stock market – including real estate, mortgages, private placements and much more,” Mather explained. “These investments can be held both inside and outside IRA plans.”
“We’re presenting a wide range of facts and ideas that will help educate and inform without pitching specific programs or even recommending investment strategies,” Mather said. “We want to educate our listeners, not sell them.”
Mather said most people are unaware that their IRAs, Roth accounts and similar retirement funds can be converted into self-directed accounts where they have control over their investments.
Gale, whose company provides assistance to investment funds which target real estate REOs---bank owned properties resulting from foreclosures---told listeners there are many risks involved but the payoffs can be considerable
“The economic downturn has resulted in thousands of foreclosures, and late-night TV is filled with infomercials about buying up those foreclosed properties,” said Mather.
“Doug Gale told our listeners how to invest in tax liens through individual counties. He said they may be much safer than buying properties, with lower capital requirements, and strong returns, but as always, the investor needs to properly assess the risk,” Mather said.
