    How to Use a Self-Directed IRA to Invest in High-Yield Boutique Hotels: The Boutique Hotel Fund

    Schedule a free call with a New Account Specialist: https://www.iraclub.com/podcast-link/ In this episode of the Investors Row Podcast, we explore the rapidly growing world of experiential hospitality and why boutique hotels have become a premier niche for alternative investing. Our guest, Tim Ensmann of the Boutique Hotel Fund, shares his journey from scaling luxury short-term rentals to launching a boutique hotel fund that targets undervalued "mom and pop" assets in high-demand, drivable destinations like Blue Ridge, Georgia. By focusing on "wow factor" amenities, such as saunas, cold plunges, and pickleball courts, these commercial assets create significant pricing power and economies of scale that traditional single-family rentals simply cannot match. We also dive deep into the mechanics of diversifying your retirement portfolio beyond the standard offerings of Wall Street. Learn how savvy investors are utilizing Self-Directed IRAs to access private equity real estate deals that are typically unavailable through traditional custodians. Tim outlines his "conservative underwriting" approach to mitigating risks like interest rate fluctuations and construction delays, providing a masterclass for accredited investors looking to turn their nest eggs into high-performing, tangible assets.

    How to Reduce Risk in Your IRA Using AI Investing Tools - Introducing iFlip with Randy Tate

    Schedule a free call with a New Account Specialist: https://www.iraclub.com/podcast-link/   In this episode of the Investors Row Podcast, powered by the IRA Club, we sit down with Randy Tate, CEO and Founder of iFlip, to explore how A.I. is transforming the retirement investing landscape. Randy shares how iFlip’s AI-powered “Smartfolios” are designed to help investors mitigate downside risk, preserve retirement capital, and gain access to institutional-level investing tools once reserved for Wall Street elites. We dive into the role AI can play inside self-directed retirement accounts, why missing the worst market days matters just as much as missing the best ones, and how flat-fee investing models may offer a compelling alternative to traditional advisor percentage-based fees. Three Major Takeaways From This Episode: AI can help protect retirement portfolios by reducing exposure to major market downturns, using daily predictive risk modeling across hundreds of indicators. Traditional retirement products like mutual funds and annuities often hide costly fees, while flat-fee models may significantly reduce long-term wealth erosion. Self-directed retirement accounts are evolving, giving investors more flexibility to combine alternatives (real estate, gold, private deals) with AI-managed market strategies.
