Rochelle Gerber Has anyone moved their 401K to a self directed real estate one?
13 November 2024 | 22 replies
If you have pre-tax and post tax Roth funds in the existing 401k, you will initiate a rollover into a newly formed Solo 401(k), with some funds dropping into the pre-tax bucket and Roth funds dropping into Roth bucket. 3) 3 benefits that I find many real estate investors are attracted to with the Solo 401(k): 1) Higher Contribution Limits (providing you have enough earned income) 2) Ability to contribute to Roth, without MAGI limits where you have to do a backdoor contribution, like you do a Roth IRA. 3) Exemption from UBIT/UDFI on debt financed real estate deals, this could be directly, or through a syndication type deal. 4) Now, we can proceed with, what about the caveats and qualifications to open and maintain a Solo 401(k): 1) You need to have earned income from the business/sole prop. that is sponsoring the Solo 401(k).

Quote from @Grayson Grzybowski: @Crystal SmithThank you for taking the time to provide your insight on the questions I have asked.For your introductory statement, I understand this is how debt should be used. 1) I have already went out of my way to ask for as high of a limit as I can just to have it on stand by. 2) I am trying to build value into our home to increase the equity faster so I can utilize it as leverage in time. 3) I have already reached out to a lot of different investors and have their terms & conditions at hand.
