This is simply not for someone that wants a set it and forget it investment.But if you simply want to talk numbers, there's no way on this planet that a 401k can outperform a long term - buy and hold investment property in a typical area (i.e. not a war zone) and if its bought right (i.e. 70 to 75% LTV) AND you self manage.So read the posts a little closer next time.

For example, if I can find a fixer for $120k + $30k renovations that has an ARV of say $200k then (according to the 70%rule) I slightly overpaid for the property but as far as having a loan on the property vs actual value of the property (sale price anyway) I feel at least somewhat protected if the market falls...especially if it is a long term hold anyway...I personally feel almost all markets bounce back over time....BUT if we paid retail for the property and rely on the cash flow...forget it...I would never get a nights rest for fear of owing $200k on a property worth $150k and for $200-300 cash flow...not for me...but I appreciate how some have the stomach for that game...being mortgaged to the hilt and pressing their bets at all times that is....just very dangerous at our age 46 & 48...I'd love to retire someday and see more of this beautiful planet!
