you can get outside financing…

my thinking was to use the 401 to buy re in stable markets that dont have the boom/bust appreciation cycles of markets like california. in that way, keep the asset value of the portfolio low (lower than say 10% appreciation in ideal s&p) while still generating income via rental…

cash investments would be done through a roth…
