I have a little skin in the game as an investor. 

I've ran my numbers on a house that's being wholesaled in Baton Rouge, La. And I am very interested. I would like to buy and hold. 

I haven't went out to take a look in person just yet.  I am curious as to how complicated is it to renovate a burned home. Far as pulling permits and what not. I have experience with flood homes and permit pulling and remodeling. 

Should I call the city before purchasing, if so what would I need to inquire when I do reach out? 

Thanks.

@Shannon Dennis who owns the LLC? YOU do, so he is still dealing with you, prohibited transaction. If he pulls money out of the ira or takes a loan, then he can do whatever he wants with the money, but then its not ira money anymore.

Okay, thought I had found a loophole. Lol guess not. Thanks

He can set up a self-directed 401k, and they do not have to pay fees (except for the self-directed custodian fees). Your attorney can set up his SD 401k as the lender and create a formal mortgage for each property. 

Since you now have some completed projects under your belt. I would start reaching out to private lenders in your area. You might be able to find some at local real estate events. Years back, I found a private lender on Craigslist.


 Thank you, my goal was to actually have him be my private lender. I want both of us to profit

Self directed IRAs are great. BUT Dad can NOT lend you money from his self directed IRA. There are prohibited people that the IRA can not do business with. Parents and kids can not borrow from, buy from or sell to parents and vice versa

You can get an aunt or uncle, cousin, friend from work, Dads friend from work. Just not lineal: parents, kids, grand parents, grand kids or spouses of the above.

 If dad qualifies for a Solo401k (legitimate self employment activity and no w2 employees other than spouse working more than 500 hours annually) he can take a participant loan up to 50k or 50% whichever is less and use that for any purpose including loaning money to a prohibited party.   BUT - there's the current 50k loan outstanding.  @Shannon Carter I commented on your other post also - is the current 401k with a current employer?  


Yes it is , I was actually able to set him up a

Traditional IRA with the same company.
no penalty since he’s 62 and pay no taxes long as

We put the money back in 60 days. So it

Should work out I can just pay the 401k back with my personal lines of credit and that can hold me

Until I refi with Dscr , that is my plan.
would like your opinion if I am on the right track

With this .

 Even if he’s lending to my llc ? 

Thanks for your response , I was thinking I could just pay the income tax (reimburse him) so I can continue to use the funds, as I increase my own capital and we both profit like you mentioned.

Is there a certain type of IRA that will allow me to do this, or will I be paying income tax for EVERY withdrawal when I go to close on another property again and again ?

Quote from @Jeff Prow:

There is a lot going on there, while it may be less costly to withdraw from a 401k, there are some risks involved as well. Have you looked at using any equity from the property you are holding?  There are some portfolio products that may assist in using the equity in the rental property.  DM me with any questions.

Hello, do you know of any products that can help me if I have a Dscr product on the property that I’m holding ? 

Hello Bp,

I would like some feedback on this creative financing I am trying to do.

I have done 2 successful flips and also have one 1 buy and hold.

Now that I have a little skin in the game I’d like to ask my dad who is 62, with a 6 figure 401k to allow me to use $50,000 to invest in more real estate. I’d like to pay him as if he’s my private money lender after each deal.

He’s funded my deals by taking out a loan from his 401k and I would make the biweekly loan payments , and pay him a fee once I sold my flips and refinanced my last property. That way we both made profit.

But we can’t do another 401k loan for another 6 months .

My question is , what steps would I need to take if he does the 50k withdrawal instead of the loan? Since he's 62 I know we can withdraw with no penalty, but is there a way to avoid taxes ? Like transferring the funds to a SDIRA or Roth IRA ?

Thanks for the feedback

Also, I'd like to maybe do 2 deals at a time this year if the opportunity presents itself, should I start building relationships with HML's ? Or am I on the right track by avoiding fees and points and keep partnering with my dad. Thanks
