How can I use my 401k to invest in real estate?

[Matthew Powell]

I have a 401k with fidelity that I have been contributing to for 8 years now. I have built up a good amount of money in this account. The ultimate goal is to quit my W-2 and live off of passive income. Which means my 401k will just sit there until I am in my 60’s. Is there any way I can use those funds to purchase rental properties? I feel like I can make that money way more valuable in the real estate world.
