401k

[Devang Patel]

Hi all.  Just want to say I love this site and also all of those blog members that have helped me along the way.  Within 15 months i have accumulated my first 9 units and each one has had its share of challenging yet ultimately prosperous adventures.

I have a question on 401k-- What is the point of having one if company does not match when you can have cash flowing properties while also increasing your equity? I am almost thinking of selling out of my roth IRA and 401k completely in order to purchase 2 or 3 more properties in cash to get to my goal quicker. I am still 30 years away from retirement. With the way the markets have changed in the past 15 years, I feel real estate to me is more of a tangible asset that is easier to understand. I feel like I have way more control with real estate than my 401k/roth iras which feel more like black holes. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
