In this segment, Bruce and Aaron will discuss with them their specialties of CPAs and IRAs, alternative assets in IRAs, retirement account money and whether it is bulletproof,  checkbook LLCs, the beneficiaries of last year's tax changes, plus much of what you will hear about at the Financial Tactics Breakfast in October. That and much more on the real estate radio show.
