Join Apple Crider (Young Smart Money) and Dan Kryzanowski (Rocket Dollar) as they chat about self-directed accounts, retirement, and financial freedom. He shares how he started getting into real estate and learned how he could utilize his retirement dollars for different purposes other than “retirement.” Dan explains what first liens are, what having a custodian means, the importance of having checkbook control, and everything in between. He also reveals why other financial giants like Vanguard or Charles Schwab don’t go by his methods. By the end of this episode, you will learn different ways to grow financially through real estate, other uses of self-directed IRA’s, and to put more thought into retirement.
