If you have money already in an IRA, you need to find a custodian that allows for self direction.
The other option is to rollover from other retirement plans like a 401k. Otherwise you can't just put funds into a IRA, it is limited to $5000 a year.
There are different levels of self direction. Some custodians allow you to choose your own investments, but only from certain asset types, usually things traded on the market. The best are those that allow you to purchase an LLC with IRA funds which you can then manage yourself (AKA IRA LLC).
