The other exemptions vary from state to state, but generally pensions, 401Ks, and IRAs funded by 401K roll overs are also exempt, as are most disability payments.Michigan may allow you to seize other assets like her vehicle, but often those have "buy here, pay here" loans on them that exceed the value of the car so you'd never be able to get clear title to it and the car lot has first dibs.What can you do? 

When you talk to TSP just make sure you say it is a rollover conversion, not a withdrawal (that goes for any plan that you attempt to rollover).

I need to rollover a 401k into an IRA...

That capacity can be further limited or even eliminated if you are a high income earner.Most folks who establish a self-directed IRA for investing in real estate are starting with a rollover from prior savings, such as a 401(k) from a former employer. 

Hi BP Fam,Does anyone have experience setting up TD Ameritrade's standardized flexible Qualified Retirement Plan and using that for a ROBS (Rollover for Business Startups) strategy?  

@Lance ConyersIf you are self-employed with no full-time w-2 employees, you can set up a Solo 401k & rollover funds from a non-Roth IRA as a tax-free direct rollover and then invest in real estate.Solo 401k vs.

Please note that you are obligated to pay back their 401k (regardless of the performance of your real estate investment).Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).If you are self-employed with no full-time employees & you can rollover the funds, you could set up a Solo 401k, rollover the funds and take a 401k loan from the Solo 401k.

My plan is to roll over an existing Roth, so I can start using its funds for REI and doing private money deals.

I'm hoping to continue investing and would like to use rollover funds from a previous employer to a self-directed solo 401k for the purchase of my next property. 

When i have a rental property, after i deduct the deappreciation, repair costs, mortgage interest and such all of the income from the property it self is deducted fully, does any extra amount of deduction roll over to deduct any of my W2 income?
