Do some research by contacting a professional self directed firm and your tax advisor.The other option is what is referred to as a Rollover as Business Startup (ROBS) plan.  

You would be able to rollover a 401k in a SD IRA & combine assets if you leave your employer at a future date.

You MUST claim in it 2018...even it at the very minimum it get's carried over as a roll over non-operating loss in 2019. 

@Jason RyersonThe Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k Differences CONTINUEDThe solo 401k business owner can serve as trustee of the solo 401k;The self-directed IRA participant/owner may not serve as trustee or custodian of her IRA; instead, a trust company or bank institution is required;When distributions commence from the solo 401k a mandatory 20% of federal taxes must be withheld from each distribution and submitted electronically to the IRS by the 15th of the month following the date of each distribution;Rollovers and/or transfers from IRAs or qualified plans (e.g., former employer 401k) to a solo 401k are not reported on Form 5498, but rather on Form 5500-EZ, but only if the air market value of the solo 401k exceeds $250K as of the end of the plan year (generally 12/31);When funds are rolled over or transferred from an IRA or 401k to a self-directed IRA, the amount deposited into the self-directed IRA is reported on Form 5498 by the receiving self-directed IRA custodian by May of the year following the rollover/transfer.Rollovers (provided the 60 day rollover window is satisfied) from an IRA to a Solo 401k or self-directed IRA are reported on lines 15a and 15b of Form 1040;Pre-tax IRA contributions on reported on line 32 of Form 1040;Pre-tax solo 401k contributions are reported on line 28 of Form 1040;Roth solo 401k funds are subject to RMDs;A Roth 401k may be transferred to a Roth IRA (Note that from a planning perspective, it may be advantageous to transfer Roth Solo 401k funds to a Roth IRA before turning age 70 ½ in order to escape the Roth RMD requirement applicable to Roth 401k contributions including Roth Solo 401k contributions and earnings.)

Each draw will cost between $100-200, and then you get your money back, so the snowball starts to rollover once you begin the process.Just make sure how the HML will reimburse.

Or, you can build up your 401k, then when you switch to another job or retire, you can always rollover that into an IRA or even a Self Directed IRA that allows investing in real estate and other assets.
