I suppose you're looking to rollover funds from a 401k to an IRA.

I haven't been able to get those details yet.We went turn key because we invested with retirement money through a self directed IRA.

I have heard of a self directed IRA and I have heard of 1031 tax exchange.  

Hello BP,I am doing some reading on Self Directed IRA's and using them for real estate investments.

You could also look exchanging it if you do not need the cash or ask one of the folks here if you can put it into a self directed ira or solo 401 before selling. thus not having to pay the gains.

Do you have a IRA (Roth or Traditional) account?

I've always been great with my money and have a decent Roth IRA.

live in honolulu, work in kaneohehave a number of homes in a self-directed IRA (cash) from memphis invest (purchased the summer of 2012)used the proceeds from rent and my IRA contributions to buy into a couple of syndications and did one loan to a syndicator in the past couple yearslooking forward to reading a ton, and posting a littlealohasteve

My question is whether or not it would be wise to open up a self directed IRA or solo 401k now and put some money aside, or invest in the market on my own(without the tax advantages I know) allowing me more flexibility once I am able to put it towards real estate investments(house hack and hopefully some BRRRR to start).

@Felix BaigelFrom your perspective as a buyer, there is no significant issue purchasing from an IRA.
