Self-Directed IRA Custodians

North American Savings Bank, F.S.B. has been providing loans to individuals since 1927. As a leader in the mortgage industry, NASB offers a variety of mortgage loans and is the only nationwide nonrecourse lender for IRA real estate investments. We have retail lending branches in Missouri and offer nationwide lending via the internet.

A non-recourse loan is one in which the IRA account holder is not personally liable for repayment of the loan. The security instruments allow no recourse against the individual account holders or the balances of your IRA funds. In the event of default/foreclosure the lender can only look to the property as the sole source of repayment. The non-recourse lender cannot pursue other assets owned by the account holder or the IRA.

Anyone who has at least 30-40% of the purchase price vested in a self-directed IRA has the opportunity to buy rental properties using a non-recourse loan. This is subject to loan approval, including an acceptable real estate appraisal, as determined by NASB.

Our website offers a list of Self-Directed IRA Administrators who allow non-recourse loans. Please contact one of the administrators for more details. NASB does not represent or endorse any of these companies nor do they represent NASB. Please perform all prudent due diligence before setting up an account.
