QUESTION: Dear Sir or Ms. Thank you for your informative article. (Educational blog) My question to you is can I roll a defined contribution annuity into the self-directed solo 401k? Now is the window for me because I haven’t contributed to it for 3 yrs. and this allows me to do a rollover. My goal is to invest it into a foreclosed home. Thanks for your help!
