The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.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).Please keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.

I will acquire a home warranty and if I need anything additional, I will call brother again and he has a host of connections if needed.

Waterbury is an acquired taste for most people.

Hypothetical question,If a borrower of an active mortgage is at pre-foreclosure and they decide to transfer the deed to another individual, what are the consequences for borrower and if any for the new individual that acquired the deed?

I started at 10% but now I pay 5% and in the process of doing internally (due to economies of scale) but as you grow or acquire new properties, try to always improve your terms.
