I know the 401 penalties are steep but my thoughts are if I can gain enough cash flow to leave my current career, do I really need to worry about whatever money is in there to draw from 20 years down the road?

With $100,000 cash in hand, the property will be more like in the 400K price point if he were to put 20% down, leaving 20K for closing cost and emergency $.At the current interest rate and RE market is it possible to make 1K after monthly payment? 

I would rather have people toss garbage in a trash can than leave it laying around or kicking it under the bed.

Most of the time, we resolve the situation in less than three months through cash-for-keys agreements, court mediation, or by creating enough pressure that the tenants decide to leave on thier own.We currently manage over 700+ units and flip about 20 multifamily properties a year, the majority of which have inherited tenant problems.

But if your goal is to leave your day job soon, multi family will offer more cash flow typically.

I am not looking to leave my W2 and want to make sure that the properties I invest in are solid and would be something I would want my wife and daughter to live in. 

However, calculate whether the investment—purchase price, legal fees, potential eviction costs, and rehab—still leaves room for a solid return.Risk vs.

Why are they leaving their prior residence?

I have $180K on the mortgage and since I bought pre-pandemic, the property has accrued a good amount of equity (I could likely sell for $700K-$750K), leaving me with about $500K in cash.I'm considering selling the property to invest in an out of state market as the COCR isn't great (I net about $1,700/month in cash flow).

HELOCng a personal residence could leave them homeless in the event they fail at this.
