Solo 401k

[Shawn C.]

Hi BP. I am an full time employee and hold a real estate license on the side. I have one sfr that I'm holding with plenty of equity but it is under long term lease agreement and I don't want to leverage HELOC as I intend to cash out when the lease is up.

I have an old 401(k) that I want to convert to a self employed solo 401k so I can direct the funds in to real estate investments while leveraging debt and evading the UBTI expense that comes with a self directed IRA when leveraging debt.

Can I use Solo 401(k) as source of funds to pay 25% down and leverage debt for remaining principal amount to purchase a duplex that I will owner occupy and rent the other unit? How do I pay the returns back to the 401(k)? Can my LLC hold the deed? Does the 401k hold the deed?

Thank you for your expertise or guidance to find this knowledge.
