I have access to a rather large sum of money in my 401(k), I have a conventional mortgage available to me up to $150k (at least that is what my broker told me on a 5 minute phone call), and I have contacted a hard money lender for more info (still waiting to hear back).  

after that one I had an offer for a short sale go through 48 k purchase 4 k in rehab sold in for 68k soon after.

@Alina K. - You might try attending the York Region Real Estate Investors meetup.

Looking into using this currently and possibly a solo K to avoid taxes.

Here is the Fremont if you would have rented a condo in 2012 for 1400 you could have bought same for 270 k now it increased to 2500 and the price is around 470k. 

Account Closed rolling over your $75,000 in your 401(k) plan into a Self-Directed IRA would allow you to avoid the "dummy tax" and let you use the funds to purchase real estate.

I was trying with one lender who said they can do the cash out at the beginning, but then after reviewing my 2016 tax return, which claim a loss on a K-1, they said they can not due to the debt to income ratio would not qualify (comes to negative..).

I have one investment property that has a good bit of equity in it about 70 K.

Leave 5 k for closing costs. 6.
