LET’S GET REACQUAINTED Inside this issue of the magazine, we’re proud to rein- troduce our “Investor Review” series with a focus on using self-directed IRAs in your real estate investing. These publications bring you valuable information and insight on each spotlighted topic by those who know it best: the companies and people who work in that space, day in and day out. We’d like to thank these companies for their advertis- ing support and content contributions: American IRA, the Entrust Group, Equity Trust, Inverse Investments, Kingdom Trust, Lasaii, MidAtlantic IRA, Next Gen- eration Trust Services, North American Savings Bank, Self-Directed IRA Services, Sunwest Trust and uDirect IRA Services. Thanks also to RJ Palano of BuyCash- FlowProperties.com, Clay Malcolm of New Direction IRA, Tyler Carter of NuView IRA and Alisa Mirabal of Preferred Trust for their articles. All are committed to providing you with accurate, helpful information to get you started down this path to building wealth. I stress the “getting started” part, as this is no one- size-fits-all strategy. Each person has a unique situation, objectives and timeline.

on their long-range vision, sound business practices, high ethical standards and dedication to moving residential real estate investing forward as a respected industry niche and avenue for wealth building. These award winners are the innovators and change-makers who are taking individual real estate investing from a once easily dismissed interloper to respected industry player. They believe in collaboration for the long-term benefit of this industry niche and all who share those standards and ethics. We will give well-deserved recognition to this esteemed group in August at theThink Realty Global Conference in San Francisco, and a major section of our magazine’s next issue will be devoted to sharing their stories. Through those stories, we hope to inspire others toward similar success and commitment to excellence. It’s fitting that we shine the spotlight on these organiza- tions and individuals while in the company of their peers from around the world, as so many global partnerships are being forged in real estate investing. We hope you’ll be among those in San Francisco for the celebration as well as for the many educational and networking opportunities that the Aug. 11-13 conference presents. (Not to mention,
