My question is along the foreclosure line and seeking the right answers and/or information.

Readers should seek professional advice.

Hello, I am new to Bigger Pockets and seeking guidance with my first real estate investment.

You can't sell properties you own (or through your LLC) to your IRA, even indirectly through a friend, without penalties.

Hi Kristi,If you plan to hold the property for the next 5 years, opting for a 5 year prepayment penalty makes sense, as it will significantly lower the rate.

I'm seeking advice on the best way to pay off or pay down my HELOC.

Would love any input here.Thank you.Hi Anita I specialize in STR sales and operations out on the OR Coast..oddly when clients don’t find what they’re seeking or are priced out in the coast several have purchased STR’s in upstate NY.

Here are a few considerations with respect to the 401k: 1) Although you can take funds with no penalty for first time home buyer, you can't return the money to the 401k. 401(k)'s have unique tax advantages that allow for tax-deferred, or in the case of Roth, Tax-Free growth.

Aside from the obvious dangers, I’m seeking best practices and how experienced investors  in this area handle hurricane damage?

You can also invoke the happy clause and tell them if they are not happy there, they can give notice and move out without any penalty, but that offer is only good for X days (eg 5 days).
