KANE WHITESIDE When borrowing from 401k for rental properties goes wronge?
12 December 2015 | 3 replies
@KANE WHITESIDEThe only thing from a 401k perspective that can "go wrong" is that you fail to make payments in the required fashion and the amount of the loan is treated as a taxable distribution, with an additional 10% penalty for early distribution if you are under age 59 1/2.As such, you want to be very sure that you will have the ability to repay the loan, and structure your real estate deal accordingly, with plenty of reserve capital in the event you have an extended vacancy or significant repair expense.You also want to keep in mind that you put that money into the plan tax-deferred, and will be replacing it with after-tax money, so the income you receive personally needs to be a significant return on investment to offset the negative ROI equal to your tax rate that the plan is experiencing.An alternative would be to use the plan itself to make the investment in property.
