To help, I used Excel to forecast the future value (FV) of both options: 1) leave existing traditional rollover IRA in-place or 2) liquidate the IRA, paying the 10% penalty and 33% marginal Federal tax hit.I'm 15-16 years away from retirement and computed the FV of both options over that timeframe.

I do plan on keeping my primary for at least 2 or 3 more years and I should be able to get around 130k HELOC on that and maybe I can get an additional BLOC a couple years down the road to help get me to 2 deals at once in a shorter time frame.

I have been in real estate since 1985 and I remember an older friend of mine warning me, "Wendy, be careful, real estate goes in cycles"....well, I didn't believe him as it had always gone up for me until 2005-2008 time frame...... do i think it will crash like that?

Anyone know an inexpensive and reputable structural engineer?
