Assuming I have a Roth 401k at etrade, where half my account is tied up in equities, and the other half in cash, can I move the cash portion into a new self-directed 401(k) to use for real estate?

He is willing to payout a considerable amount as he is about to loose $600k in equity.  

We have about 15,000 in equity in the house we live in and about 80,000 in the subdivision.

Helloit is my understanding that traditionally when you sell your property you can use the 1031 exchange to defer the taxes on the capital gains from the sale. i know a little about that but i am interested to know if when you refinance and not sell the property to pull out equity from a property can u also use the 1031 for that. for example if i use the BRRRR strategy to buy a 4 plex for $300,000 i use a conventional loan and put down 20% of $60,000 making the loan amount for $240,000 and put in $40,000 into rehab the property so i have $100,000 in and the property then appraises at $400,000 so i refinance the property with 20% down of $80,000 in equity making it a loan amount of $320,000 out of that of course the original loan gets paid back of $240,000 leaving me with a check for $80,000. so does that $80,000 count as capital gains?

I purchased my first home in 2013 and have about $50K in equity.

With the opportunity value of cash in the range of 10% they are losing minimum 5% return on every dollar of dead equity they have buried in a property. 100K in equity is worth $866/month.

I am trying to figure how to use my current home as leverage to invest.I have about 220K in equity in my home and wonder if I should use some of it to purchase a new home for rental or rent out my existing home?

We purchased our current home 4/7/17 and we are estimating we have gained right around 20% in equity.

Your overall cash flow will increase as well as your ROI and you will still have $1.6mm in equity.

I have 200K in equity on some other properties.
