Trapped by a mediocre real estate IRA provider?
Whether it’s service issues or you simply want a more experienced, accessible team that knows the ins and outs of holding real estate in a self-directed IRA, STRATA will make it easy for you to transfer your IRA-owned property from your current IRA provider at no cost.
Special Offer Terms
STRATA will waive your account set-up and first-year annual fee, plus pay your IRA termination fee with your current IRA provider when you open an IRA with STRATA and initiate a direct transfer by 9/30/2018*. We’ll handle the details for you (including recording the custodian name change with the county).
* Annual Account and Asset Holding fees will apply in year two in accordance with our current IRA Fee Schedule, and will be billed on the anniversary of your account opening. Processing and Services Fees for future transactions are not included in this offer. Third party lender fees for debt-financed property are not included in this offer.
To qualify, you must open a new IRA with STRATA and initiate a direct transfer of your directly-owned real estate holdings (in-kind) from your current custodian by 9/30/2018.
