@Atwan KwanPrivate Lender 1st Mortgage with a Self Directed IRABob is a real estate investor and had the opportunity to acquire a property for $100,000.

In defense of the management company you called, there are many variables, so I can understand a reluctance to provide estimates of these expenses.

I have someone who is interested in investing his self directed IRA. 

Along with my self searching loopnet every hour of the day.

I paid 39k for a 1400sq ft 3br/2bath house and it seems to be worth around 120-125k now based on similar homes being sold in my area from late last year to now.Now I find my self in a similar situation with having this equity sitting there doing nothing.

I simply know someone who was in your situation, spent 15k in hospital bills plus who knows what on defense.

It is a factor to protect your self by a lawsuit or a failure of your business.  

The 401k loan will not affect your credit report or your DTI.If the 401k is with a previous employer, look into the self directed IRA or Solo 401k options, which allows you to invest in real estate.

I've seen meetings that were focused on flipping and then all of a sudden someone mentions self directed IRAs and pretty much hijacks the meeting for the next 45 minutes. 

My job is interesting, but I crave the freedom of self-employment.
