Can You House Hack Your 401K?

You can give yourself a loan from your 401k for the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of your 401k's balance. The net proceeds you would get from taking it out and when taking a loan against it are almost equivalent. Invest the solo 401k or self-directed IRA in real estate or other higher yielding assets,. This way, you can experience both long-term returns of real estate as well as tax deferred growth.
