Can you self direct your ROTH 401(k) to Real Estate.

Here is a question...

Can ANYONE tell me if you can self-direct your ROTH 401(k) into real estate. In know that you can in an IRA.

I keep looking at the website and it seems every website only talks about IRA's and self directing!!! I need to know the answer for a ROTH 401(k)?

Anyone?

Yes.

I'm doing it right now through my self-directed retirement plan administrator, EnTrust.

I use www.theentrustgroup.com. They have an office locally and they know their stuff.

There are others. Just shop around for the best mix of expertise (extremely important), service (very important) and costs. My administrator knows my tax CPA through working with other clients, and can work with him directly to structure things properly for my individual situation--a major bonus!

P.S. You can also borrow 50% of your Roth-401k balance up to $50K for whatever (e.g. real estate investing), provided you don't mind paying yourself iback with interest at a fair market rate. Excellent!
