What is a Self‑Directed Health Savings Account?

A Self-Directed HSA (Health Savings Account) is a type of HSA that allows account holders to invest their contributions in a wide range of alternative assets beyond traditional options like mutual funds or ETFs. This can include real estate, precious metals, private equity, and more.

Like a standard HSA, it offers triple tax advantages: contributions are tax-deductible, growth is tax-free, and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses are also tax-free. A Self-Directed HSA provides greater control and potential for growth but requires careful management to stay compliant with IRS rules and avoid prohibited transactions.

Before contacting IRA Financial Group, I conducted an extensive market research on Solo 401K providers. From the initial phone call, I was impressed with the professionalism, the wealth of information provided, the caliber of services. I commend the firm for the technically advanced and secured process they have in place for the transfer of documents and payments processing.

Angie A Florida

I decided to open a Self-Directed IRA because I wanted to invest in real estate projects. Also, having control of my money was a big motivating factor as well. Being able to decide where and when to invest has been very successful for me. All the real estate projects I have selected have been solid investments. I have recommended IRA Financial to friends and family.

Rene F.

I have been a client of IRA Financial for several years and I really love them. I've worked with other companies, and they just were not as easy to work with. I appreciate being able to get somebody on the phone and getting help with taxes. Just everything has been so easy to work with. I have, and do, recommend them to anyone thinking about self-directed investing.
