Withdrawing retirement funds to invest
I have a retirement account from my previous employer that I wish to use to fund a deal that I currently have under contract. My question is with the CARES act am I able to withdraw that money penalty free and if I put it into an investment property will that cancel out my tax obligation come tax season next year? I have looked into using a self directed IRA and I don't have enough money in the account to make the juice worth the squeeze. Thanks for any input!

Yes you can withdraw from retirement accounts, penalty free. I believe it caps at $100,000. However, the amount you withdraw is still subject to the ordinary income rates. The CARES Act only relieves the penalty.
