Depending how strict the regulations are it may be doable with just an architect.

Zachary Clough I run a small web design firm out of Miami and often outsource work to these services.

Hey @Jorge Castillo,I work with an investment firm down in St.

Contact your plan administrator to confirm.If this is an old plan from a former employer then there are many firms who can help, including some on BP.If you are self employed and are the only employee in that entity (except your spouse with some limitations), look into a solo 401k vs a self directed IRA.Good luck.

We already have one firm we're going to interview, but we want to check with at least one or two more. 

@Jared MackIf you have met a distribution event under the 401k regulations, you can take in-kind distributions (in this case the real estate) which would subject the distribution amount to federal and possibly state taxes but not the 10% early distribution if you are over age 59/12.

I'm not certain, but if this is your first out of state deal, I would certainly get 3-4 contractor quotes to firm up that reno budget. 

All done quite legally and per IRS regulations.

I would start with a title company in VA that is recommended by your REIA.I found this law firm expert in CFDs in VA.http://www.assumeanyloan.com/

Get it on the market, and then once it's sold.. file an official complaint with the state regulator, and if he doesn't give you something to reflect the poor work, take him to court.
