Open a self-directed IRA online, move your retirement savings in, and invest in CREB real estate bonds. All in one place, at your own pace, with Equity Trust as your custodian.

Most IRAs hold only stocks, ETFs and mutual funds, so every market swing hits your retirement. CREB adds a different kind of asset: fixed-income bonds backed by real estate and U.S. Treasuries.
Earn a steady, fixed rate instead of guessing where the market goes next.
Get exposure to residential and commercial real estate without buying, managing or selling property.
Inside a Traditional IRA your returns grow tax-deferred; inside a Roth IRA, qualified withdrawals are tax-free. Either way, more of your interest stays invested and compounds.

No paperwork to mail and no sales call to book. Set up your IRA yourself, whenever it suits you, even from the sofa.
Create your self-directed IRA with Equity Trust right from your CREB account. Choose Traditional or Roth and follow the guided steps.
Transfer an existing IRA, roll over a 401(k), or make a new contribution within IRS limits. We'll show you which option fits.
