Most of the time, we at Platinum Properties Investor Network would tell you that taking out a loan against your 401k retirement plan would be a bad idea. The reason is that the majority of people would waste the proceeds on the trappings of wealth \u2013 boats, cars, expensive vacations. If that describes what you would likely do with a 401k loan, you have our permission to skip the rest of this blog.
\nFor those of you still with us, there is one situation where we think it\u2019s a great idea to borrow against your retirement nest egg if you are absolutely certain you can follow the plan. The plan is to employ a prudent but uniquely effective real estate investment strategy. In short, we\u2019re talking about income properties, which is when you buy single family residential homes and rent them out. In case you haven\u2019t heard it before, this has been proven historically to be the best investment. It\u2019s how the majority of wealthy Americans got that way.
\nBut DON\u2019T just run out and start buying up properties nilly willy. That could be worse than leaving your money in the stock market. Get an education first and do it right from the beginning. A good, free resource is the Creating Wealth podcast found at\xa0www.JasonHartman.com. Jason Hartman has devoted much, time, energy, and expense into making this a premium, no cost education for both savvy and first time real estate investors.
\nTry it. You might like it. It\u2019s probably your best chance to get wealthy in this life.
