Obviously dollar cost averaging would be different, but sticking everything in the C-fund is not very attractive from where I sit...Still undecided, but I'm definitely leaning toward rolling my TSP into an SDIRA or E-QRP and putting it in multifamily.Oh, and real estate is actually better from a taxable income standpoint than Roth or Traditional IRAs...

They’ve said we can go traditional but they won’t accept the old appraisal.

I have been investing 401K funds through a self-directed DB plan in my company for a while, but now I have different 401K money coming in and wondering who uses retirement accounts with traditional stocks and who is investing in Real Estate?

We cant get a traditional loan because the DTI is to high any advice you can give would be awesome. 

Have them pay the cost of the property outright, and look to repay them and recoup your rehab costs with a traditional refinance.

First is, if it meets some basic conditions, you can actually finance it out on a 30yr amort... second, it's a great way to leverage traditional housing finance to access land that has tons more options, particularly if it has other value, such as on or near a corner of two major roads, adjacent to desirable features like waterfront or views.

(new bathroom and kitchen) the only thing we'd possibly do is pull up the carpet and re finish the hardwood floors underneath.I have experience remodeling homes( I worked as a framer and helped my dad remodel homes as a teenager as well).the house is about 60-70 years old but in good condition.I plan on financing with a VA loan but might consider traditional if my father in law has his property sell and go in with him as a partner.My question is does this look like a good a good deal as a live in that we would be renting in about a year?

It also will not qualify for traditional financing.

Hi @Christian Lopez, you will need 25% down for an investment property.
