I currently have 10,000 dollars equity in my Truck. My Credit union is willing to loan me 10,000 @ 1.9 %. Can I use this for the 20 percent  down payment for a real estate investment loan on a deal I'm looking to buy....

As investment vehicles the IRA and 401k are largely similar.  

Typically, I have the termite company do any chemical treatments and I have my guys repair any framing, etc as I can do it cheaper than their bids.

Hello Maddie,If your goal is to use your savings in two years to acquire an investment property then using a tax-deferred vehicle such as 403B would not be a good idea.

Having one's vehicle(s) towed is a direct punch to the gut, it hurts no matter who you are in life. 

I really enjoy my day job as an engineering but I hope that real estate investing can be my vehicle to financial freedom. 

I think my kabbage is a great vehicle, 3.5%/mo for first 6 months then 1%/mo the next 6.

I have been performing a mixture of both sales and limited property management in 2017.About 13 months ago : I was property managing about 35 – 38 doorsNow I’m down to about 16 doors.Property mgmt doors decrease has allowed me more time for my own personal improvements.( More sleep , less time in the automotive shops for vehicles repairs )

If so, thoughts on what vehicle to use to do so, will be appreciated.  

Unfortunately, the brass Kitec fittings allowed a chemical reaction to take place which eventually weakened the fittings causing them to fail.
