401k to Self Directed IRA

[Gabe Bouldien]

Hey BP, 

I work a traditional 9-5 and I have a pretty healthy 401k. I stumbled upon the SDIRA while researching different financial vehicles and now I’m curious. Ideally I would like my 401k to be a pass through account so I get my employer’s match. My dream is once I am paid, the money hits my 401k, gets matched, and then feeds into my SDIRA. Then I can use the SDIRA monies to purchase real estate. Is this process possible? If so, how do I get started?
