If the answer is zero, I think you should leave the 401 alone and find another job, because you are not financially stable enough to do this.

Welcome @Brendon KillianYou found best investing resource on the webTime to get to work reading,ask questions listening to podcasts Good luck

Interested in Real Estate investing and would like to eventually own a few properties that can generate some cash flow for financial growth.

I want to create a stable financial future for myself while finishing my service time.

What many of them have in common is that they ignored the market, focused on decent to good areas, ignored the dips and spikes, held for a long time, and purchased when it made financial sense for them instead of trying to time the market. 

It's pretty American based though, so make sure that you find other resources to help you study the Singapore market and see if that's what you want to do.

If you choose to go it alone, refer back to BP podcasts where people talk about how they manage their own properties and check the show notes for links to the software, resources etc. that they use to be professional, organized and ultimately successful.  

I've acquired books and other learning resources to further understand the field.

With the US elections and the global financial troubles in the news lately, it seems risky to go all in on this venture.

Also instead of submitting all your statements you can also get a CPA, Financial Planner, or Lawyer to write a letter verifying your accreditation status.
