I'm getting nit picky abour costs again. I've been leaning toward self directed IRA's myself, and have found only one on line broker, Waterhouse, who does not charge an annual fee for servicing an IRA. Several others have been asking $35.00 per year in addition to administrative fees. There are also a couple of national banks that will serve as trustees for self directed IRA. Those I've seen also charge $35.00 or more per year. Does anyone know of other sources for serving as IRA trustees who are not charging annual service fees?
