I agree with @Joe Zinger and @John Johnson, roll your funds into a self directed IRA - which can take the form of a SEP IRA, a Roth IRA or a solo 401(k) - and avoid tax exposure.I also think that @Paul Civitello made a crucial point but didn't emphasis it, and that is this:You can purchase a property with self directed IRA funds, tax free, earn a profit, and put that profit, along with the initial capital, straight back in to your self directed IRA, all TAX FREE!!
