😉😊I want to buy this now to read on a 12 hour flight (ugh!)

@Jason Thomas: Couple of easy things to remember:(1) You can rollover from a 401K to a Traditional IRA and then convert that to a ROTH IRA (There are some custodian where your IRA is setup to receive the funds, who will do this step automatically and as they call it "in-flight"(2) You can rollover from a 401K to a ROTH 401K (assuming that the plan allows you to do that) and then transfer to a ROTH IRA(3) You can transfer from a Traditional IRA to a 401K, but you cannot transfer from a ROTH IRA to a ROTH 401K(4) You can have your own Solo 401K, only if you have your own self-employed (directly or through your own firm -- not a third party employer -- yes I am simplifying this), and you can rollover from your employer to your own Solo 401K.(5) You can invest in real estate from any of the retirement plans whether it from 401K, Traditional IRA or ROTH IRA(6) You can have leverage on the real estate from any of the plans on the real estate so long as the leverage is non-recourse to you (or a disqualified party) personally(7) Generally, real estate with leverage within a 401K plan does not pay any UBIT on the income or gains, but the Traditional or ROTH IRA will pay such taxes.(8) You do not have covert the entire Traditional IRA to ROTH IRA account, or 401K to ROTH IRA, you can do this small amount at a time which you can calculate based on you specific situation.(9) You can do a conversion in-kind, and does not have to be cash, provided you have a fair market appraisal of the investment within the IRA or 401K just prior to the conversion.

It’s midnight here and I’ve got an early flight tomorrow morning so will message you then. 

But I want to drive two hours to my investment property just as much as I want to take a 5 hour flight to one.

I even got a agent to show her another 1 bedroom apartment but she refused to move there claiming the apt unit which the agent showed her has 2 flights of stairs and she needs something on the ground floor level.

I feel as if this is not the case but want to double check.Yes you can deduct the plane flight and even few days of food expenses and or hotel/rental car cost if any.I pay no state income tax where I live, but the property I purchased is located in a state which has income tax - I assume I will need to file with that state.I believe you will have to file with that state.  

Instead of hopping on a flight every month some have taken up this strategy of "every so often can I have you go out, check the progress, and take some pics and a video for me? 

Hi @Michael Flight, Brian is right on the money. 

There are direct flights from Canada and Europe.

Socio-economic trends, like flight from urban to suburban and downsizing will certainly have their impact on how the future unravels.
