Because the IRA LLC manager (generally the IRA participant) is free to self-direct her IRA LLC, the investment variety in an IRA LLC is immense. However, just like with a self-directed IRA, the IRA LLC manager bears the risk of investment performance.
Following is a sample list of common self-directed IRA and IRA LLC investments.

- Residential Property
- Commercial Property

Invest in Multiple Types of Alternative Investments:
The same LLC can invest in multiple types of investments including real estate and precious metals.
Funding Frequency:
No, as long as the IRA is the sole member/investor of the LLC.
Robinhood Platform:
You would need to find a platform that allows for both cryptocurrency and stock trading and will open an account in the name of an LLC (which is owned by your IRA). We are not aware of such a platform (e.g. it is our understanding that Robinhood won’t open an account for an LLC).
IRA LLC for Business Funding:
No, as it would result in a prohibited transaction. The IRA rules do not allow for an IRA LLC or an IRA to be invested in your own business. Instead, the ROBS 401k may be used. To learn more about the ROBS 401k, see the following page https://www.mysolo401k.net/401k-business-financing/
