			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Exciting news &#8211; we&#8217;ve just started implementing something that makes setting up a Solo 401(k) a much faster and easier process.</p>
<p>Now you can download a small piece of software that turns your computer into a portal for setting up your new Solo 401(k) in minutes.</p>
<p><img title="Unlimited Solo 401k" src="http://www.solo401k.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/u4k_blog_post_500.png" alt="" width="500" height="321" /></p>
<h2>Faster Creation</h2>
<p>You can literally bring your Solo 401(k) plan into existence the same day that you get the software. You don&#8217;t have to be full-time self employed to qualify either; self-employment activity on the side of full-time employment elsewhere still qualifies you for the Solo 401(k).</p>
<h2>Easier Transactions &amp; Maintenance</h2>
<p>It also makes certain tasks easier beyond setting up and funding the plan with rollovers. For instance, if you ever need to draw on the participant loan feature that lets you borrow up to $50,000 tax-free from your retirement funds, you can just fire up the software and get the loan funds (up to $50,000) in your hands on the same day.</p>
<p>Making contributions has never been easier. Use the software to instantly calculate your maximum legal contribution (up to $54,00) each year. Double that if your spouse is involved in your self-employment activity because she (or he) can contribute up to the same limits as well.</p>
<h2>Clearer Benefit</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s even a value calculator that shows you how much your 401k plan is measurably benefiting you. Most people find it&#8217;s in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per year.</p>
<h2>Total Control</h2>
<p>And, of course, enjoying the power of controlling the checkbook for your own 401k investments comes with unlimited, legally-allowable possibilities&#8230; such as investing in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Private businesses equity</li>
<li>Non-dollar, safe offshore investments</li>
<li>Private lending</li>
<li>Real estate</li>
<li>Tax liens</li>
<li>Virtually anything else (just no &#8220;self-dealing&#8221; or conflict-of-interest transactions)</li>
</ul>
<p>After thousands of private trials gone smoothly and plenty of early adoption switch-over from our existing loyal clients, we&#8217;ll be doing a big promotion to celebrate making this available for new clients.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re on my email list, you&#8217;ll be the first to get access.<br />
[You can can <a href="http://www.nabers.com/contact-us/new-client/" target="_blank">join it if you haven't already</a>]</p>
<p>Thanks for all your support, and everyone here at Nabers Group is ecstatic about unveiling our latest way to give back to the community!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Solo 401(k)&#8217;s most touted feature is its uniquely large annual contribution limits ($49k &#8211; $108k). A lesser known feature may be just as useful for some: participant loans.</p>
<h3>What is a participant loan?</h3>
<p>A Solo 401(k) participant can borrow up to either $50,000 or 50% of their account value with the following terms:</p>
<ul>
<li>To be repaid over an amortization schedule of 5 years or less</li>
<li>Regular payments no less frequently than quarterly</li>
<li>At a reasonable rate of interest&#8230; generally interpreted as prime rate + 1%</li>
</ul>
<p>Such a loan may only be made in accordance with the Solo 401(k) plan documents. While most plan documents disallow this type of loan, the <a href="http://www.solok.com" target="_blank"><strong><em>Unlimited® 401k</em></strong></a> offered by <a href="http://www.nabersgroup.com" target="_blank">my company</a> does allow it.</p>
<h3>Under what conditions is this allowed?</h3>
<p>Any. As long as the plan documents allow for it &amp; the proper loan documents are prepared and executed, a participant loan can be made for any reason.</p>
<h3>When is this useful?</h3>
<p>This can be useful when <span id="more-132"></span>someone is thinking about distributing money out of their Solo 401k plan for some reason. I recently talked to a man who was going to distribute his 100k IRA to pay for finishing the repairs of 2 fixer upper houses. After we spoke, his strategy was amended to instead:</p>
<ul>
<li>Setup a Solo 401k plan (adopted by his business) and transfer IRA funds into it</li>
<li>Take a participant loan of $50k</li>
<li>Use the loan proceeds to finish rehabbing Property #1 (which was owned personally free &amp; clear)</li>
<li>Do a cash out refinance on Property #1 once rehab is complete</li>
<li>Use refi proceeds to finish rehabbing Property #2 &amp; pay back the Solo 401(k) participant loan</li>
</ul>
<p>In his situation, it made sense to pull some equity out of Property #1 to pay for the completion of Property #2 (and the early repayment of the participant loan) because the rental income (upon completion) of Property #1 covered about 350% of its new loan payments.</p>
<p><strong>The result of the new strategy<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Avoided IRA distribution</li>
<li>Avoided $35,000 in distribution taxes</li>
<li>Paid participant loan back within a few months</li>
<li>The rental income of Property #1 will payoff its mortgage within 6 years (with maximum principal reduction payments)</li>
<li>Left $100k in his retirement account for maximum tax deferred growth</li>
</ul>
<p>There are many other common uses for a Solo 401(k) participant loan. If a person wants to make a &lt;$50k investment that would otherwise be a prohibited transaction, they can just borrow the money and do the investment as an individual.</p>
<p><strong>What other uses can  you think of?</strong></p>
