#180: Kaaren Hall- Mastering Your IRA Retirement Plan

"It's not passive, it's your asset and it's your money so you don't just sit back and hope someone else is taking care of your money because no one cares about your money like you do." -Kaaren Hall 

Today I am interviewing Kaaren Hall who is the founder of uDirect IRA Services. uDirect helps thousands of people self direct their IRA's into private equity investments such as real estate, notes, performing & non performing debt, crowdfunding and more. Assisting people with taking their retirement out of wall street and into private equity, Kaaren opened uDirect IRA in 2009, just a year after the 2008 downturn. She has presented at many local meetings including my FIBI Pasadena meeting numerous times as well as been a previous guest on my show. 

Kaaren Hall: Prior to her career in IRA services and investing, Kaaren was a radio host and a news and on air traffic reporter. She then began working in the banking and real estate industry before taking a leap and beginning her own practice in Southern California. Understanding the importance of retirement and the power of taking care of your own financial freedom, uDirect IRA specializes in helping people create their own future in which they have full control over their retirement and financial freedom.
