I have roughly $160,000 in my 401(k).

Other ways to house hack: buy a house with more bedrooms and rent them out to cover the mortgage, or use FHA 203(k) loans to fix up a multifamily home.

Make sure you leave that new LLC as a disregarded entity, or if you bring investors on with you, make sure it’s taxed as a partnership (subject to Subchapter K).The only way to mitigate cap gains would be if the property appraised very close to its net tax basis.The other strategy at your disposal is to dissolve the S-Corp in the same year (though you really need to be in-line with your CPA on this one)… you should have more tax basis post- deemed sale, and that basis would help you achieve a capital loss on dissolution of your corporation.Talk to your CPA my friend!!
