With the Markets starting to roll over at the Top, that Cash with be King when the prices come down again.

Was it a rollover?

Remember to maintain some cash reserves for each investment property.In three years from now, you may find yourself with at least a couple options in which to fund your next real estate deal:1.) you may have built some equity up in your first and second house hacks, in which you can now either cash out refi some funds or take out a HELOC on one or both of those properties.2.) you will have a fully vested 401k account, in which if you leave your employer at that time, you can roll over the 401k into a rollover IRA.

Aside from making some money, it will allow me to shelter that same money over to an IRA, and over the next 3-5 years, rollover those IRA funds into Roth accounts.

We did virtual and 'frictionless' showings.

People do similar things with their 1031 exchanges to get into a primary home with the tax benefits from the rollover.

and harder to finance  rentals get bank financing if U cant qualify for bank financing on a rental then U should not own one  LOL.. exceptions of course for those that are using IRA or foreigners or over their loan limits.one is a slow road  ( rentals ) one can be a fast road if you have the capacity and know what your doing. its uber competitive though for the inventory.. which lead me about 5 years ago to slowly roll over to all NEW construction.. far less competition simply because its MUCH harder to get vertical financing.. it was at least.. now some of the bigger HML have come in the space but you need experience.. you need no experience to get your first rental property loan ZERO none.. just Fico and some cash down and some reserves..

Depending on your 401(k) plan, you may also be eligible to rollover a portion or all of your 401(k) into a self-directed retirement account.

My wife also has a Roth IRA.I realize I'll have to create 3 separate SDIRAs to handle these rollovers since the funds cannot be comingles, but was wondering if the resulting accounts could invest jointly to buy multifamily property which none of the individual accounts could afford on its own? 

When we decided to do a Cashout Refi, we'll be able to pull out all of our initial investments and a little more to roll over into more deals.
