Article by Administrator of SDIRAs Shares Information About How Self-Directed Investors Can Invest in Cars or Trucks, Create Passive Income by Building a Fleet to Lease to a Third Party


ROSELAND, NJ, November 25, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In a recent blog article, Next Generation Trust Company explained how investors with self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) can use their interest in vehicles to invest in cars or trucks to create a fleet that can be leased to a third party. Similar to equipment leasing, this creates passive rental income for the SDIRA with alternative asset investments.

"When using a SDIRA to invest in a car fleet, it is important to know and understand the IRS rules to avoid making prohibited transactions and investments in collectibles," said Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation, which provides full-service account administration and asset custody for self-directed IRAs and other self-directed accounts. "Since the IRS considers automobiles collectibles, account owners must understand how to invest in car fleets with a self-directed IRA to not only diversify one's retirement portfolio but comply with the IRS and safeguard the account's tax-advantaged status."

As the article explains, the account owner may purchase vehicles as inventory to lease or sell to a car service or trucking company, or invest in a fleet company or certain funds through the self-directed IRA.

"There are a several ways to make these investments," said Raskulinecz, "such as having the SDIRA set up an LLC or limited partnership for investment purposes, and then lease the vehicles to a car service or similar operation; or the IRA can invest in a vehicle-related business such as a limo or cab company or shuttle service."

She added that investors should be aware that certain investments into active trades or businesses may trigger unrelated business income tax (UBIT), and they should consult a trusted advisor to discuss strategies for managing this tax liability.
