What to do with my pension.

[Mitchell Flaherty]

I have been working for the municipality I live in for 4 years and am leaving my position for a more lucrative position elsewhere. I'm looking to take my pension contributions with me to invest elsewhere as well. My questions is what do you think is my best option? I don't want to just withdraw it and loose half of it to taxes. How can I reallocate my money with no taxes? I'm hoping to be able to use the cash for a down payment to kick start my real estate portfolio.
