If it is with a current employer, then borrowing from the 401k is likely the only option as most companies do not allow for an in-service rollover.

@Kenneth Shultz,I *think*, but will let the experts chime in here, that you CAN roll over funds from a regular IRA into a Solo 401K.

Hello BP!

Just looking for some opinions/advise! I will have approx 380 to buy with a property I'm selling(165 equity). The current property doesn't cash flow, but the appreciation has been great! About me...I'm an...

Your exiting IRA funds would be processed as a direct rollover to a new 401k sponsored by your new C-Corporation real-estate operating company.

Any direct or indirect transaction between his IRA and such a disqualified party would result in a self-dealing prohibited transaction for his IRA with severe tax consequences.Your father's IRA could be used to form a new real estate development business using a Rollover as Business Startup program.  

Hi Everyone,I have enough in a older 401k from a previous employer.  I would like to transfer this to a self directed IRA to use for the downpayment on another rental house.  Are there any NY specific concerns or impa...

Even if your employer does allow for an in-service rollover to another plan, you would need to retain $20K collateral for the loan in the plan, so you would only be able to move $38K.

The loan requirements include the borrower setting a performance bond, agreeing that the project funded shall not benefit any other business venture, that the primary lender advance 70% of any future funds required at that lender's approval, that the borrower is not to further encumber the property, that interest be paid annually the first 3 years, then payments roll over under an end loan with a prepayment penalty 5% to year 5, then each year the penalty is reduced by 1% annually until it doesn't apply. 

Self-directed IRA or 401k can be funded in one of the following ways:1) Transfer or a rollover from another qualified retirement plan.2) Make new contribution.

Should you decide to flip properties using your retirement funds, you may want to look into the Rollover as Business Startup 401k (ROBS 401k) as it will not subject your retirement funds to UBIT.
