Start up money

[Jeremy Jones]

Hi I'm new on here and excited to learn how to invest in real estate.  I have money in a 457 account. I'm thinking of taking a loan out on myself from the 457 money. People have advised me not to withdraw  the money due to all the tax hits I will take. I would lose almost 25% if I withdrawal.  Is taking a loan out on it a God idea? I would much rather have the money out of the 457 account so I could put it to a down payment of a loan for real estate...
