Generally speaking, the distributions from a traditional 401(k) account are all subject to taxation versus a ROTH account which has some tax-free distributions. 

@Malik K., don't forget to factor in the cost of your rent in your calculation.For example, house hacking a multifamily in a desirable part of Philly might not cashflow, but is the reduction to your cost of living greater than the cashflow from an investment property in a bad part of town?

@Jerry K. - Hmm, I never really thought of "foreigners" from Chicago choosing to move to Franklin County, TN! 

Quote from @Chan K.: I insure a few mulifamily properties with NREIG.

the only difference is that the house @ 624 k has the meter installed and he completed a boat dock (approximately 35k to build).  

FHA 203(k) may be an option.2.

Quote from @Mak K.: My understanding as a realtor agent is if the tenant signs the lease, it does not matter if landlord signs or not because tenant signing the lease is pretty much acceptance of the lease by the owner.

Quote from @Laurence K.: @Deep RonThe website neighborhoodscout.com is good for looking at demographics, especially crime and vacancy.
