Finding Investments for You
1st Link Financial Services primary service is finding and analyzing real estate-related investments for purchase by our clients. We are investment real estate brokers and have been in business doing this since 2006. In 2006 we started working with IRA clients to assist them in finding appropriate investments in the real estate arena.
We find these assets by our network of investment real estate brokers throughout the U.S. (a network we've built over the past 10-plus years). We meet with these investment brokers at least monthly. These meetings, attended by 5 to 20 brokers, take place in most of the western states and last from one to three days. By our attendance at these conferences we can satisfy our clients' investment needs no matter how diverse.
Our clients give us direction on what it is they would like to purchase; when we find it we do a complete analysis of the investment and forward our due diligence to the respective clients. They can review the information, take it to any other advisors they have and make a decision. If they wish to purchase the product we go forward with the acquisition. If not, we find another for their review. On occasion our clients have requested that they pay our fee on real estate acquisitions and we then work as a buyer's broker.
As a free service to our IRA clients who use our investment services, we assist them in finding the correct custodian to service their account. As you will see by reviewing the guidelines for selecting a self-directed custodian , not all custodians are the same and it is vitally important to choose the right one the first time.
