There are a lot of techniques and tricks that you can do to ensure a successful campaign.  

Following is how the ROBS 401k works: Because you directly rollover your IRA or former employer 401k, 403b, Keogh, SEP, SIMPLE, or other eligible account, to your new ROBS 401k  plan, which then funds your business, you incur no taxes or early distribution penalties.Unlike traditional 401k plans that allow for a 401k participant loan, that is, borrow up to 50% of the account balance not to exceed $50,000, the ROBS 401k for business financing plan allows you to use all of your retirement funds to fund your start-up business.The ROBS 401k funded corporation allows you to draw a reasonable salary from the business.ERISA 408(e), and ERISA Reg. 2550.408 list information regarding the use of 401k funds to invest in employer stock of the employer’s corporation.The IRS formally commented on the use of 401k business funds on Oct 1, 2008 by issuing IRS memo commenting that the use of retirement funds is not disallowed but continue to be reviewed by the IRS.The use of retirement funds for business funding entails the 401k purchasing stock shares in a C-Corporation.

I'm just beginning to research different marketing techniques.

I had thought of that as a technique before, but i didnt follow thru because many of the pictures i noted thru looking up houses on google is that the image is often from 2014...and MAYBE it is still a vacant or abandoned (looking) house, but i figured that it could easily have changed hands by now, and i'd be doing it for nothing. 

Whoever said you have to stucco everything also, whatever happened to painted brick or block.There has to be some ways to build cheaper with newer techniques.

Yes you could pull those funds out of the 401k now to invest in your own name, but you will have to pay taxes and penalties on the amount you distribute prematurely which would not be wise thing to do.

Not looking for any one to do anything for me just would like to talk with someone who has been successful using this technique.

Second @Dylan Tanaka comments.We also have found that a great technique is a pre-recorded message the seller can listen to when responding to your marketing.

It is the only entity structure whose rules allow the business owner to take a “reasonable salary” (subject to social security and medicare) and then take the remaining profit (often as much as 50% of the remaining income) out as distributions not subject to self-employment taxes.

So the sponsor participates in the 70% along side of the private investors according to how much of the down payment they participate in plus the sponsor gets the remaining 30%.Many of the structures are more complicated than this with a priority of how cash flows are distributed but I kept it simple here.
