Will lenders ask my employer if I am permanently remote, or will they only verify employment?

But the deferral is indefinite and can be permanent with the right planning. 

However, the plan will not be considered qualified if it appears from surrounding facts and circumstances that the plan was established as a temporary program.A plan will be considered temporary if: The plan is abandoned within a few years after being established for reasons other than business necessitySubstantial and recurring contributions are not made to the planA plan will be considered permanent as long as substantial contributions are being made occasionally, even if contributions are not made every year.

It is a new permanent high :-)

But, it is permanent easement & right of way.

Nothing is permanent until attorney review closes. 

As a Canadian, it might be a little bit tougher....I'm a permanent resident the US, the refinance process is straight forward, just provided particulars as usual and I'm currently waiting to hear the details of the refinance.

@Joe AuIf you do changes jobs, you'll probably want to take that opportunity to transfer your 401k to an account that allows you to do what you'd like (a self-directed IRA or 401k).If you transfer the 401k to a Roth IRA, not only is this a taxable event, as Dmitriy pointed out, but it is also permanent in that you cannot transfer the Roth IRA to a Solo 401k.

Lastly if you have an existing home, consider using your line of equity if you have equity in your home to make investments, you will get favorable terms upfront and then turn it to permanent financing.Lots of options exist, I think its critical to develop a purpose and a strategy, then define funding, we have a basis to go from, now we just need an exact focus and move to that goal.Much luck!

Multifam/Apts  is no longer an option if you are a conscious/awake person, and if you have children or are pregnant, get out today, you are causing permanent damage to you children,  being exposed to sometimes dozens  of wifi signals from un-thoughtful neighbors who do not know how to turn them off.
