The information you did not mention was to roll over to a Roth Self Directed account.  

A gallon was plenty to roll over all of the walls in high traffic areas.The reason I would get a better paint is because your time is money, and the color place just does not have great coverage. 

I'm just questioning whether or not it's worth the couple of hours to roll over my old LinkedIn profile to something RE focused and start the networking there as well...

Can I, without incurring tax penalties, rollover my 401k to an ira brokerage account, and then in the future, switch to a self directed ira so that I may invest in real estate.

Zac, in order to do so you need to create a self-directed IRA and rollover your existing account into it.

I like all  leases to roll over in spring and early summer. 

Staying put so that you can roll over the profit instead of paying gains on it will help your net profit, as well as minimizing your payback to the grant. 

@Brian Eastman I'm well aware of the potential pitfall of accidentally generating a taxable event, as I used to work in a stock brokerage as a principal, and had to have the same difficult conversation--often with someone who had taken too long to do a rollover. 

You also have to think about the tax consequences of keeping your current home and turning it into a rental.You would want to check with your CPA about loosing the rollover benefits. 

However, if your loan was reported as a distribution ("Offset) for 2018 you will have until April 15, 2019 plus timely filed extension to treat it as rollover to an IRA as long as you can come up with the funds to deposit into the IRA.
