Rochelle Gerber Has anyone moved their 401K to a self directed real estate one?
13 November 2024 | 22 replies
If you have pre-tax and post tax Roth funds in the existing 401k, you will initiate a rollover into a newly formed Solo 401(k), with some funds dropping into the pre-tax bucket and Roth funds dropping into Roth bucket. 3) 3 benefits that I find many real estate investors are attracted to with the Solo 401(k): 1) Higher Contribution Limits (providing you have enough earned income) 2) Ability to contribute to Roth, without MAGI limits where you have to do a backdoor contribution, like you do a Roth IRA. 3) Exemption from UBIT/UDFI on debt financed real estate deals, this could be directly, or through a syndication type deal. 4) Now, we can proceed with, what about the caveats and qualifications to open and maintain a Solo 401(k): 1) You need to have earned income from the business/sole prop. that is sponsoring the Solo 401(k).

.: There IS going to be a big impact on Real Estate, especially for Single Family and small Multi-Family that is Owner Occupied.The SALT Deductions are slated to expire at the end of 2025.Trump has already said that he will allow it to Expire:https://about.bgov.com/insights/elections/2025-tax-policy-cr...This is NOT a small change.The Standard Deduction gets reduced by about 40%.Then you get to deduct the SALT (State and Local Tax) that you paid PLUS up to $1 Million in Interest from your Mortgage against your Federal Tax Return.The only limiting factor will be AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax).In 2017 when this Cap was put into place, it made sense.However, now that the average Home sells for about Double what it was back in 2017, many normal Americans can benefit from the Expiration.I'm hoping that the Trump Administration does not extend the Cap.Too many people will love him more if he allows it to Expire!
