I used IRA resources to be the custodian of a self-directed IRA. At first they were OK, during the first couple years. The statements would come regularly at first, then become later and later. They were however, good at charging me their custodial fee. I found out a few years later that what I was investing in had sadly become penny stocks. It made my IRA almost worthless. Never did IRA resources contact me to let me know. They were never around answer questions, don't care about the client, and - as far as I'm concerned - they don't do anything to help administer accounts. Stay far away from this scammy company.
