Regrets or anything different after using 401(k) for purchase?

[Drew Lamb]

Is there anyone here with some advice about using your 401(k) to purchase an investment property? Anything that you would do differently or just advice about how to handle it? I only have about 35k in it so it may be awhile but I thought I’d start researching it before it came time to use some of it.

@Drew Lamb @Sam L. Take a quick read on self-directed 401k's/IRA's and it's rules and tax benefits and see if sheltering the buy in the account makes sense vs pulling the money for what you're trying to do. It's a pretty eye opening option that might be right or wrong for you depending on what you're planning.
