@Brian K.

Since the 401(k) is with a previous employer, you can roll it over into a self-directed IRA or Roth IRA. Then you can use the funds to invest in real estate, or almost any type of investment.

If you are self-employed, you can also consider the self-directed Solo 401(k) plan option. This gives you higher contribution limits, loan option, and the ability to use non-recourse financing tax-free. There are many topics on BP about both the self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k), you can do a quick search and see what others recommend.
