The implications of taking money from a retirement account(if not Roth) is that the distribution will be considered income and potentially subject to a 10% penalty.In my opinion, real estate investments and securities within a retirement account are used towards your later years.So it doesn't matter whether it is in one bucket or the other.If you are subject to the 10% penalty, I would only take out a distribution if you strongly beleive your return from real estate will be several percentage points higher than what you can invest in with your IRA.For example, if your return within the IRA is about 8% and you can make 10% in real estate, I would consider doing the distribution because the extra return will pay off the penalty over a few years.Best of luck
