We will continue that ball rolling and prices have been appreciating quickly in Michigan so we are able within 1 year to have ARV 3 to 4 times the HELOC debt outstanding so that's a good set of numbers.

I've never paid that much for hard money.It is correctly noted above that the interest paid to the plan (which might be about 3-5%) is not deductible.If you are able to invest the 401k and earn 8%, then you are also giving up the ~3% opportunity cost of potential higher earnings to the plan.If you lose your job with an outstanding 401k loan, you have to repay that loan immediately or it is counted as a taxable distribution with a potential 10% penalty for early withdrawal if you are under age 59 1/2.The only reason Congress included the 401k loan provision when these plans were created was that they knew folks would not put money in unless there was a "safety value" that could be used in an emergency to pull some money out.My company offers a Solo 401k plan that has a loan feature.

@James Wise Outstanding article.  

I have a friend starting a business that will be nationwide and she needs some clarity on these matters.  

I am still early in my research, and I am currently looking nation wide for the the best area to focus on.  

@Errol WatsonI can fund your double close as we fund nationwide.  

I work on market feasibility studies in markets nationwide and these types of towns were hit really hard during the most recent recession.

FYI the large, nationwide installer of this type of product are a money printing machine.Andy
