I could not find any investment properties for sale on their website so unless you can provide some general details on price and location it would be hard to comment on their offering.

Depends - can you earn more on your money outside the 401K then don't contribute.

Interesting article on Yahoo Finance:

You'll get better feedback if you post the address or general location.

@Gautam Venkatesan thanks for the clarification. I was actually listening to the tax tips podcast after I posted that, and learned exactly what you just confirmed. Is it 750 hours, or do you have to show that it's your primary profession? i.e. You spend as much or more time  of real-estate activities as your primary profession?

I believe you are correct in that it has to be your primary profession but with a minimum 750 hours in that activity. Hopefully a CPA can confirm as I am not an expert in interpreting IRS rules.

@Christian U. yes he meant to say real estate professional. To qualify you will need to show 750 hours of real estate related activities per year so it would be hard to do so with a full-time W2 "job" hence the partner suggestion.

@Susan Maneck how can you live in a house that was purchased with your Solo 401K funds? Isn't that considered self dealing??
