Why Madison Trust?

As Heard From Our Clients

Madison Trust has been a welcome relief from our two previous custodians. Private placements can be challenging, yet they have done a great job in making our transition and new investments a smooth ride. They know their business and they do a great job in supporting us as clients.

I just want to write about the great service that I have received for my Self-Directed IRA. Not only did I get great service, but I recommended their services to five of my friends. They are very easy to work with, highly professional, catch any of your mistakes on form submissions, and contact you promptly.

 I needed quite a lot of assistance with my new account with Madison Trust. Emily E. was there for me every step of the way. Always readily available, quick to follow up, clear with instructions, super professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She is truly an asset to Madison Trust.

How do I create a Self-Directed
IRA with Checkbook Control?
A Self-Directed IRA with Checkbook Control is a supercharged IRA that unleashes the full potential of your IRA and enables you to invest your retirement money directly into real estate — without having to contact us, your custodian, for everyday transactions. It has the same tax benefits as a regular IRA — and can be set up as a Traditional, Roth, or SEP IRA.
Diversification & Control. A Self-Directed IRA with Checkbook Control enables you to invest your retirement money directly into:

  • What You Want – Real Estate, private lending, non-publicly traded funds, crypto, and much more!

  • When You Want – Without having to contact us, your custodian, for everyday transactions — thus saving you time and money!
It’s a simple four-step process:

  1. Open – Complete our easy online application.

  2. Fund – Transfer or Rollover funds from an existing IRA or 401k.

  3. Create – We establish a new LLC or Trust for your IRA — which will serve as your IRA's self-directed investing platform.

  4. Invest – Begin placing investments by simply writing a check or sending a wire.
