Austin, Texas, October 23, 2008 -- On Saturday, October 25th national speaker and Austin real estate expert, Kenn Renner, will be presenting a free real estate finance and foreclosure seminar at the Brockton location of Amplify Credit Union (formerly IBM Credit Union). The seminar is part of Amplify University’s on-going educational series. The two part seminar will focus on the current status of the mortgage market and investing in foreclosures.

Kenn will discuss how the “credit crisis” has affected lending policies, interest rates and the availability of funds.  He will separate fact from fiction and dispel many of the falsities that the national media has purported.  The truth is that banks “are” lending and those that want to buy in today’s buyers market can get the financing they need – especially first time home buyers. Austin’s strong economy will be discussed and how it has been relatively sheltered from the housing crisis that has hammered other parts of the Nation. Part II of the seminar will focus on foreclosures, short sales, REO’s and HUD Repos.  Strategies for capitalizing on some of the best real estate bargains in recent history will be covered in detail. Case studies and actual foreclosed properties that are available right now will be discussed.  The seminar is free and Kenn will be giving away copies of Gary Keller’s (Keller William’s CEO) best selling books from his “millionaire” series. For first time home buyers Kenn will be providing free copies of “Your First Home – A Proven Guide to Home Ownership” ($20 Value).

Concerned About Your Retirement? Options For Those Concerned About The Troubled Financial Markets

Most people use the traditional buy, hold and pray strategy when it comes to investing their retirement funds and they just leave their retirement over to the executives on Wall Street to invest their money for them.

However, there is a whole world of investment opportunity outside of the traditional stock market, but many investors are not trained or educated that it even exists.

Most quote-unquote savvy investors diversify their retirement portfolios and they are 100% control of where their money is invested.  They don't  leave their money over to someone else to manage or worse yet don't have control over where their money is invested.  This is one of those times in financial history you don't want to leave your money or investment decisions over to others, who after all, may not have your best financial interests at heart.

Millions of Americans have left the investment of their money over to someone else without truly understanding what is going on with the markets.  Most investors will lose money during this tumultuous time in the stock market.

SunwestTrust.com allows one to truly diversify their retirement portfolio not just in stocks, bonds and mutual funds, but also into alternative assets.  Check out this self directed ira video on Sunwest Trust.

Sunwest Trust is just a custodian for your retirement funds.  They are not investment advisors so they don't offer investment advice or make investment recommendations.  They do; however, open up options which allow you to invest your retirement funds into alternative assets directly such as certain types of gold coins, bullion, real estate foreclosures, and tax liens.

Self Directed IRA: Truly Diversify Your Retirement

Sunwest Trust makes it easy for you to have a self directed IRA account because it gives you so many options when it comes to planning for your retirement. When you put your money into an IRA, it is best to have some control over the retirement investment. You do not want to put it in the hands of someone who will just put it in the stock market or some other fund where they get a commission and you get a low rate of return.

A self directed IRA allows you to diversify your retirement savings as you see fit. This means that you can buy tax liens with your IRA, diversify your IRA to include real estate investments and even include a 401K rollover into your IRA. Sunwest Trust makes this possible because they act as a custodian for your IRA.

It is never too soon to start investing for your retirement. While many people choose conventional means of investing, such as stock market investing, others are realizing that it is best to diversify your IRA. Your IRA is your security for the future and you never want to put it entirely in one financial vehicle. You want to diversify it as much as possible. The trouble is that many investment counselors will invest your IRA into funds that may not have your best interests at heart. They are often investing in mutual funds or stocks that can be somewhat risky. If the stock market crashes, there goes your retirement savings.

When you use a self directed IRA, you can use a company like Sunwest Trust to hold the IRA as a custodian for you as you direct where you want to invest your retirement money. This enables you to still get the tax benefits of an IRA account, but have some control over the investing. Right now, for example, is a perfect time to buy tax liens with an IRA because there are so many on the market. Or invest in real estate as the prices are rock bottom. There are many options when you have a self directed IRA that you can take advantage of that will enable you to make wise long term investments.
