@Brad TarryYou can roll all or part of that old 401(k) to an IRA of your choosing, including a self-directed IRA that provides broader investment choices.IRA plans do not offer a participant loan feature as 401(k) plans do, however.If you are self-employed, you could potentially establish your own Solo 401(k) and then have access to the loan feature.If you will be joining another W-2 employer you could also potentially roll some of your current 401(k) into that plan such that you would have some capital from which to borrow.If you have an outstanding loan on your prior employer 401(k) that may need to be paid off promptly if you have terminated service. 

So I recently started selling commercial real estate and I want to buy my first investment/rental property (residential).

It seems like in commercial real estate there are more dual agents than in SF.   

@Charlie MacPherson i have access to view tax address.

When logged in, you can look at property financials (if posted) and create a lot of reports (photos/summary/price analysis) for commercial properties.

@Ezekiel Cruz - If you talk to a local real estate agent, they can set you up with MLS access, which will give you the most accurate information on properties available for sale.

I was never interested in whole but it seems to be a necessity starting out with no capital for what I really want to do (rehabbing, commercial, multifamily).

If the property has equity, be prepared to sell before FC or have access to funds to payoff the loan.

Pretty much the only type of real estate I've ruled out is Commercial.

Some states have a recovery fund for licensed contractors but may not cover non-owner occupied or commercial entities.
