Always perform thorough market research and verify the numbers on any property you consider.

I would say it depends on how well the chunk of cash in your 401k is performing compared to the asset you are acquiring.

Look at median household incomes, look at market economy base and diversification, look at what's being done to protect and grow economic performance, just run the #'s and the message should be crystal clear. 

It simply means that you agree to let them perform a 1031 exchange which starts with the sale - not that you have to help them finish. 

@Randall King If you find the property isn't performing well, a 1031 exchange would defer the tax and concentrate that equity into something that has a greater cash flow potential, like what @Corby Goade said.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

It could very well be its all lost but seems like a big jump to conclusions by investors that basically did very high interest rate investing and expected  CD like performance..

The short answer to your question is: 1) You will engage with a new Administrator/Recordkeeper who can perform what is called a "Plan Takeover."

I am very disappointed that I am not longer able to perform tHe tasks I have been able to do unless I pay twice as much as paying before for their premium version, which is now from 13.99 to 23.99The price change seems unreasonable, so I will switch back to use the bigger pockets tools, which price is more reasonable.

Remember, every pro was once a beginner!
