Curtis Woods Should I use my 401k to purchase my 1st rental property?
28 February 2020 | 14 replies
Please be sure to select a Solo 401k plan provider which allows you to take a loan and will prepare the required 401k loan documents.The repayment terms are equal monthly/quarterly payments (as you prefer) of principal and interest (e.g. prime + 1%) spread over a 5 year term (or longer if you will use the loan to purchase your primary residence).There are no prepayment penalties and no restrictions on what you can do with the proceeds of the 401k loan.Please note that you are obligated to pay back their 401k (regardless of the performance of your real estate investment).As an alternative to taking the loan, you could even purchase the investment property directly using funds in your Solo 401k (assuming you select a Solo 401k plan provider which allows you to invest in real estate).

Allen Corona Help! Using my 401k for a down

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Please keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.

Karen F. 15 day notice for lease violation in CT
4 March 2020 | 9 replies
At that point, the tenant, who had ignored previous communication, responded that Grandma is just "visiting" (NOT what she told her caseworker), and that she DOES have a bed in a specific nursing home, that they were just "trying it out", to see if they could manage keeping her with them, and that if they could, THEN they were going to ask if they could have her move in with them, and that meanwhile, one of the bedrooms in the house would be dedicated to her exclusive use when she visits, which means that they are packing 7 children into two bedrooms, with the fourth bedroom set up with a walker, oxygen, all Grandma's needs for when she "visits" but there's not much I can do about them stuffing 7 kids into 2 bedrooms, while keeping a guest bedroom.
