CRE Deep Dive is a commercial real estate podcast focused on bridging the gap between self-directed retirement capital and real investment opportunities. Hosted by Dennis Bamford, the show explores how investors, custodians, and advisors are using self-directed IRAs to access and fund commercial real estate deals. Each episode breaks down how capital actually flows: from 401k rollovers into SDIRAs, into real assets like apartment syndications and private placements. Rather than surface-level education, the conversations focus on real execution: how deals are structured, how investors participate, what custodians require, and where people get stuck or make costly mistakes. By connecting both sides of the equation, those who control capital and those who deploy it: CRE Deep Dive gives listeners a clear, practical path to putting retirement funds to work in commercial real estate. This podcast is built for investors, advisors, and professionals who want more control over their capital and a smarter way to participate in real estate beyond traditional markets. CRE Deep Dive connects self-directed retirement capital with real commercial real estate deals, showing investors how to actually put their money to work.

    Self-Directed IRAs Explained: Rollovers, Fees, Real Estate Investing & Non-Recourse Loans (Inspira Financial) In this CRE Deep Dive episode, Dennis interviews Chris Barnett of Inspira Financial about how to open and fund a self-directed IRA and use it to invest in real estate and other alternatives while still having access to traditional public securities in the same account. Chris explains the three-step process (open the account, move funds via rollover or transfer, then invest), typical timelines, and Inspira’s flat annual fee structure, including a $100 discount for Oden Capital investors, per-asset pricing with a cap, and limited additional wire fees. They cover rolling over TSP funds, partial rollovers, annual contribution limits, how the IRA is vested as the buyer and pays expenses through a portal, non-recourse loan rules, and how UBIT/UDFI can apply to debt-financed profits. The conversation also compares standard custody to checkbook-control IRA LLCs and solo 401(k)s. 00:00 How to get a Self-Directed IRA with Inspira Financial 00:27 Introduction 02:24 Opening an Account 04:05 Fee Structure 11:02 Buying Real Estate in an IRA 15:09 Non-Recourse Loans & UBIT 19:01 LLC & Solo 401k Options Insipra Financial website https://inspirafinancial.com/ Chris Barnette Business Development Manager P: 630-348-8943 chris.barnette@inspirafinancial.com ODIN CAPITAL GROUP WEBSITE https://odincapgroup.com/odin-capital-group-home
