What if the money you’ve been saving for retirement could actually help you buy your dream vacation home now… without paying a single penalty? Today’s expert episode unlocks a little-known strategy that could completely shift your mindset around affordability—and show you that your down payment may already be within reach.
This Week’s Expert:
Olivia Tati, founder of Wanderlust Wealth Academy and real estate investor extraordinaire, is breaking down how she used her 401(k) to buy her first investment property. She demystifies the risks and rewards, explains the step-by-step process, and shows how borrowing against your retirement savings can help you take your second home leap.
Tune in to learn:
-How a 401(k) loan works and why it’s different from cashing out (no penalties, no taxes, interest goes back to you!)
-The exact steps Olivia took to buy her first investment property with her retirement funds
-How to evaluate if this strategy makes sense for your own second home goals
-Tips for navigating lenders, providers, and maximizing your investment
