American IRA Discusses Who Is a Disqualified Person in a Self-Directed IRA

Just what or who is a disqualified person in the context of a Self-Directed IRA? The answer, according to American IRA of Asheville, NC, can be a bit complicated.

The Self-Directed IRA, according to a recent post at the American IRA blog, is a powerful tax-protected tool for building retirement wealth. However, there are certain parties relating to the holder of a Self-Directed IRA who, "if they do engage in prohibited transactions with your Self-Directed IRA," notes the post, could mean the account "[loses] its favored tax-status." Be alert to the latest news.

This means that someone using the Self-Directed IRA in an improper way could potentially lose the privileges that make the IRA so beneficial to use to begin with.

As the post notes, there are a number of ways that a person could be a disqualified person. For example, the holder of the Self-Directed IRA—its owner—would be a disqualified person who would not be able to benefit directly from the Self-Directed IRA until retirement. That means that someone who owns real estate within a Self-Directed IRA would not be able to maintain that real estate for personal use. Other disqualified persons include spouses, family members such as children and grandchildren, entities owned by a disqualified person, and the like.

"It's important that people understand their limits," said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "The Self-Directed IRA is a powerful tool for independence with one's financial decisions. But that does not mean total independence. You cannot use these tax-protected benefits for your own personal gain, but rather the gain of the retirement portfolio that holds the Self-Directed IRA. Otherwise, everyone could go and put their home in their Self-Directed IRA and count it as a tax-protected investment. It does not work that way."

For more information on the limits of disqualified persons within the context of a Self-Directed IRA, visit the post at http://www.AmericanIRA.com or call 866-7500-IRA.

"About:
American IRA, LLC was established in 2004 by Jim Hitt, CEO in Asheville, NC. The mission of American IRA is to provide the highest level of customer service in the self-directed retirement industry. Jim Hitt and his team have grown the company to over $400 million in assets under administration by educating the public that their Self-Directed IRA account can invest in a variety of assets such as real estate, private lending, limited liability companies, precious metals and much more. Read this for more information.

As a Self-Directed IRA administrator, they are a neutral third party. They do not make any recommendations to any person or entity associated with investments of any type (including financial representatives, investment promoters or companies, or employees, agents or representatives associated with these firms). They are not responsible for and are not bound by any statements, representations, warranties or agreements made by any such person or entity and do not provide any recommendation on the quality profitability or reputability of any investment, individual or company. The term "they" refers to American IRA, located in Asheville and Charlotte, NC."

Talent Wars: How Much Money Does It Take to Keep an Employee?

Good talent is hard to find, and the tight labor market is leading some employers to wage bidding wars over talent. But how much money is enough to convince an employee to turn down a job offer and stay with their current employer?

In a recent survey, Express Employment Professionals posed that question to job seekers and also asked employers how much they would be willing to offer a star employee to stay with the company. On average, employees want more than employers are willing to offer. Read news here.

Job seekers were asked, "If offered a new job, how much of a pay increase would it take to stay with your current employer?"

Employers were asked, "If a star employee were offered a job with another company, how much of a pay increase over their current salary or wage would you offer to retain them?"

Overall, 57% of employees said they would want a raise of more than 10%, while only 30% of employers said they would be willing to offer more than 10%, even to a star employee.

Terri Greeno, an Express Employment Professionals franchise owner in Crystal Lake, Illinois, says she tells companies that while the minimum wage is $8.25 by law, in effect, the "new minimum wage" is $11 to $12 an hour due to high demand.

Greeno stresses that even employers who do not raise wages in this competitive labor market are "paying for it one way or another" in the form of high turnover or additional overtime.

In Michigan, Janis Petrini, a Grand Rapids franchise owner, says wages have continued to increase over the last year. She says she's seen the most pronounced increase for hourly workers, largely because "it is much easier to see the changes at the hourly level since these wages tend to be set for specific positions."

Brandon Malloy, an Express franchise owner in McMinnville, Oregon, says the upward pressure on wages in his area remains "strong" but that some companies are remaining "hard headed" about not offering higher pay—and losing workers as a result. He says an entry-level worker will switch jobs for a $1 per hour increase; a mid-level or skilled worker will change for a $3 per hour increase; and a professional will switch for a $5,000 salary increase.

Chris Ashcraft, a franchise owner in Mobile, Alabama, agrees that an entry level hourly worker will switch jobs for a $1 per hour increase. In his area, it is difficult to fill a job for less than $10 an hour, and he expects wages "will continue to rise." Companies that cannot afford to pay increases often offer other benefits like bonuses for attendance or healthcare.

"It has never been easier for workers to jump between jobs," said Bill Stoller, CEO of Express. "And because workers are so mobile, there's less fear about leaving a 'good job' for a pay increase. If the new job doesn't work out, there are plenty of other employers eager to hire. Businesses have to keep their finger on the pulse of the local economy, or they risk losing the talent wars."
