I think it would be better to have them do a hard pull if you already started getting a few hard pulls - I believe they will all be categorized into just one hard pull if you do them within the first 2 weeks but am not too knowledgeable on the subject.  

By keeping your investments local you may be able to self-manage your properties more easily because you're close-by and already knowledgeable about what's required of you as a landlord. 

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.

His knowledge of the short-term rental market was invaluable in securing the right property.

You Can Only Have 35 Non-Accredited InvestorsRule 506(b) allows an unlimited number of accredited investors but restricts you to only 35 non-accredited investors.However, there’s a catch:Non-accredited investors must be financially sophisticated.They must have enough experience to evaluate the investment risks.From the SEC:“Securities may not be sold to more than 35 non-accredited investors… [who] must meet the legal standard of having sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.”If you’re planning to include non-accredited investors, make sure they qualify—or you could be violating SEC rules.3.
