How to invest your SDIRA?

Octave > How to invest your SDIRA?
What is a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA)?

A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) is a specific type of individual retirement account that allows holders to invest their retirement funds in other assets, such as real estate. Unlike a traditional IRA, which tends to be more restrictive, a Self-Directed IRA allows you to have more control over the properties you invest in and allows you to diversify your portfolio. There are two different kinds of SDIRAs: Custodian and Checkbook. A Custodian SDIRA consists of transactions and tasks being carried out by a custodian. You direct the custodian to purchase a certain asset for you. A Checkbook SDIRA allows you to purchase the asset yourself. You do not need the consent of your custodian. However, in both cases, you will need a custodian to hold the account for you.

The Benefits of an SDIRA

There are many benefits that an SDIRA can provide you. Firstly, it allows you to take more control over your financial future and invest beyond the scope of the traditional stock market.

Another major benefit is that SDIRAs can provide tax advantages. All income, profit, and appreciation from an SDIRA are left untaxed until distributed from the account. This allows for you investment to be at a tax advantage until the age of 59 ½.

Finally, SDIRAs provide an opportunity to create “tax advantage legacy” for your family. You can choose to have multiple beneficiaries to your account. This will allow those beneficiaries to inherit the money from your retirement account.

Advantages of investing your IRA in CRE?

One of the major advantages of investing in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) is the diversification it provides your portfolio. By investing in an Octave Reality Fund, you are provided with another diversification opportunity, helping mitigate and spread risk.   Additionally, investing in a CRE through Octave allows you to realize the potential long-term benefits without the hassles associated with tenant and property management.

Privacy Policy

We at Octave Holdings and Investments, Inc. (collectively “Octave” or “we,” “us,” or “our”), have created this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, use and share information we obtain through our websites located at www.octavehi.com(collectively, the “Sites”), as well as services that we offer through the Internet or via our mobile application (together, the “Internet Services”). Except as described in Sections 3 and 5, this Privacy Policy does not govern our use of any information you communicate with us in any manner other than through the Internet Services, including but not limited to information you provide to us when you call us or write to us. Because the Internet is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside.

By using the Internet Services, you explicitly consent to such use of your information and agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy was updated as of September 1, 2020, and as described below, may be updated from time to time.

  1. Information you choose to submit

    To obtain access to the Sites and to receive certain Internet Services, you may be required to login and provide certain personal data and information about yourself (for example, your username, name and password) (“Personal Data”). We use Personal Data to fulfill your requests for Internet Services, as well as other products and services (together, the “Services”), to monitor and improve our Services, and to contact you from time to time about us and the Services.

  2. Information we automatically collect, including through use of cookies

    We automatically collect certain information to help us understand how you use the Internet Services (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as “Usage Data”). For example, each time you visit the Sites we may automatically collect your IP address, browser and computer type, access time, the web page from which you came, and the web page(s) that you access during your visit. We may combine Usage Data with Personal Data in a manner that enables us to trace Usage Data to an individual user.

    We may also use cookies (which are small amounts of data sent from a web server to your browser that are stored on your computer’s hard drive) to keep track of your use of the Internet Services, to validate your identity, to remember your password and preferences, to tailor the Internet Services to your account and to meet your interests, and to improve the quality of the Internet Services. Generally, you can set your browser not to accept cookies or to notify you if you are sent a cookie, giving you the opportunity to choose whether or not to accept the cookie. Please note that if you do set your browser not to accept cookies, certain Internet Services may not function properly. Some web browsers may have “do not track” settings. The Sites do not honor “do not track” settings. We do not knowingly collect information from minors nor do we target the Sites to minors.

  3. Our information sharing practices

    Generally: Except as otherwise described in this section and in Section 5 of our Privacy Policy, we will not share your Personal Data or Usage Data (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as “User Information”) with any third party without your permission.

    Third-Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf, such as for analyzing data and providing certain Internet Services. These third-party service providers have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but we require that they not use personal information for other purposes. Personal Data is not shared with any unaffiliated third-parties for their marketing purposes.

    Other Disclosure Scenarios: Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, we reserve the right, and you hereby expressly authorize us to, share any User Information:

    1. In response to subpoenas, court orders, regulatory requests or legal process, or to establish, protect or exercise our legal rights and interests or defend against legal claims;
    2. If we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding inappropriate or illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person or property;
    3. If we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding abuse of the Sites’ infrastructure or the Internet in general (such as voluminous spamming, denial of service attacks, or attempts to compromise the security of information);
    4. To our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with us (in which case we will require such entities to honor this Privacy Policy);
    5. As part of a corporate transaction with a successor or affiliate or in connection with any acquisition, merger or sale of assets; or
    6. With third parties who provide services to us; provided, however, that in those circumstances we request that our service providers not share your User Information in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
  4. Modifying and deleting your Personal Data

    We have controls in place designed to ensure that the information we have is relevant, accurate, and appropriate for the purposes used. If you believe that any data about you is inaccurate, please let us know by contacting info@wealthrise.net. Please note that any Personal Data that we have copied may remain in back-up storage for some period of time after your request, and that if you delete certain information you may not be able to use our services in the future without re-submitting such information.
