Can anyone explain a Self Directed Trust vs a regular Roth or standard IRA account. My understanding is I own the trust and can put almost anything in the trust including crypto, individual real estate, peer to peer loans, standard mutual funds or ETF's, etc. Being pitched that I own it, vs a Vanguard owning my assets. I do understand I would have more options for alternative investments in the Self Directed Trust, but being told I don't own my assets, that Vanguard does ?
Been skimming some profits off my 401 and doing the cash & gold thing lately. Looking at individual real estate, but the government involvement in the eviction freeze is a major concern.

A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them.
