@Chad Smith@Chris Mason1) Regarding taking a 401k loan: You would have to confirm that your 401k plan allows for a 401k participant loan (and that you have not had a outstanding loan in the last 12 months since your ability to take a loan is reduced by the amount of the highest outstanding balance of any 401k loan that was outstanding in the last 12 months).If yes, you can borrow up to 50% of the balance not to exceed $50,000.The repayment terms are equal monthly/quarterly payments (as you prefer) of principal and interest (e.g. prime + 1%) spread over a 5 year term (or longer if you will use the loan to purchase your primary residence).

But I find homes that have been sitting on the mls post 90 days that have been reduced in price to below market and are not selling. 

Helps you to have reduced risk?

On the cash flow side you may not be seeing high returns because you are probably going to buy the it retail, compared to renovating the property and realizing some equity, then you refinance at a lower LTV to reduce your debt service and effectively increasing cash flow.

I plan to reduce management, and landscaping expenses and raise rents to market rent.

Depending on your investment strategy and intent, you can be flexible in what strategy you choose to reduce your taxes.

I'm on day 2 of my 45 day period to identify a replacement property.I've sold two residential properties in Boise, Idaho and I've got a 3rd that is under contract, for a total liquid cash amount of about $550k.I've also got the capability to sell more of my portfolio (about 2.5 million all cash.)Right now my overall goal is to reduce the headache and issues of dealing with property management companies who are constantly ripping me off and also just the hassle of having 13+ properties with pretty low cap rates.My goal is to just produce cash flow as I'm already kind of retired and I just want to focus on my online business, not constantly dealing with real estate.
