The tax code says very little about the type of assets that can be invested in within a tax-sheltered retirement account.So, from the perspective of the congress and the IRS, mutual funds and real estate are equally OK for tax-favored retirement accounts.For a variety of reasons -some good ones and some not-so-good -  standard IRAs, 401(k)s, & other QRPs impose "artificial" restrictions on the assets that the account can be invested, thereby restricting you to the provided "menu" of investment choices.However, although congress and the IRS don't have much to say about what type of assets your 401k/IRA/QRP - they do care about "self-dealing" with those accounts and have put in place rules to prevent that."

If there is damage it's already been done so all you'd be doing is creating problems or an artificial turnover.
