Hello all,I have for the most part focused on rental properties but would like to now move into flipping, particularly rehabbing and subsequently reselling properties, as the return is faster than rental properties.

@Marc Padilla If Jax is your area of focus, I'd definitely recommend joining JaxREIM on meetup (more of a marketplace where wholesalers and investors message each other) and also check out the JaxREIA website - that is more of a traditional REIA with regular local meetings and education - and time a visit to JAX around one of their meetings.Welcome to BP!

The 401(k) will not have sheltered the gain in value and you will likely end up in a very high tax bracket in the year of distribution.The better strategy is to focus the 401(k) capital on the investment(s) that will produce the best results for the plan, not something you are personally interested in.If the plan held a property that performed well for 5, 10 or 15 years to the point of your retirement, then have the plan sell that property. 

My wife and I are both Realtors in Colorado and I focus on the investor side of our business.

I’ve come from a background where none of that was possible and am a career focused individual.

Several of my clients focus in those areas because Dallas has gotten too pricey.

I work closely with an investor-focused super-agent/broker here in Atlanta.
