Use solo 401k funds to buy a Mobile Home Park



QUESTION 1: If we were to purchase a Mobile Home Park for straight-out cash from our Solo 401k plan account, can we later refinance with a bank mortgage or a HELOC type loan to pull equity out of the property?

ANSWER: You cannot purchase property including a Mobile Home Park from your own solo 401k because you are a disqualified party.

QUESTION 2: Are there any concerns about financing in this way versus up-front?

ANSWER: Yes the concern is that it is a prohibited transaction!

QUESTION 3: Are there any fees or restrictions?

ANSWER: Yes as a prohibited transaction can result from even a partial purchase of an asset from the solo 401k by a disqualified person such as the solo 401k trustee.

Note - the main reason for obtaining financing after the fact is timing to close the loan.
