@Mark Creason  Bait and switch comes to my mind.. it gets you in the door then when you tell them for sure if we have not sold it in 29 days for 300k we will cut you a check for 200k No problem  LOL... guess who signs the listing agreement and probably declines the sales guarnetee part.

@Sochima EzeIf the 401k is from a former employer, you can transfer it to a self-directed IRA and invest it in real-estate directly as the law allows for it.

If you have 401k with the current employer most likely they will not allow you to transfer it out until you are either no longer employed there or reach retirement age.3.

One question one of my past employers asked me was this...Are you fair or consistent?  

And what mechanism might be employed to discover my crime?

Ask what their credit is like (people with bad credit will know they have bad credit), employment, income, landlord reference, etc. 

I would secure them somewhere safe and inventory what there is.I would be concerned he was baiting me so he could come back and make some weird false allegation.

Did a large employer leave the area causing many to lose their jobs?

Then once the mat leave was over we would move back to the home province, she would go back to work and I would stay home on employment benefits raising our kids.

Without an s-corp election, you have to pay self-employment tax on the flip.
