<prompt> Human: My Dad is revisiting his will next week and asked me if I wanted the house, car, and about 20-40,000 cash to help me move into it OR 12 of his 401k, which has a little over 1mil in it. Now, the house I see as an investment opportunity. Its a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a pool in a great neighborhood in Southern California. Great schools in the area, low crime, and I think the last time he had the house valued over 3 years ago it was about 480,000. Similar houses in the area have sold for over 500,000, but I would use it as a rental property. Rent in the area is around 3,000mo.Im 22 currently and have 8 rental properties inherited from my Mom, though they are not generating more than 2,000mo. Theyre in bad shape, in a small town, in Missouri. Not very lucrative. My question is, would it be more beneficial over my life time to take the house and rent it out or take the lump sum and put it into a 401k and start looking into stocks? Im not very well versed in what exactly is changing, but I do know that there are new regulationschanges coming to the way 401ks are handled that is going into effect next year. From what Ive gathered from my dad and his financial manager, its screwing a lot of people and it makes me wary to start one, though again Im not exactly sure whats going on with it and I could be wrong.Any advice is welcomed!  <response>: Your mom and dad get a silver star for wise money management and giving you some excellent options. For me income producing property is the way I would go. The tax advantages are awesome. With the properties in MO, I would keep those and live in an RV, driving seasonally back and forth between my rental properties, taking my own sweet time, and racking up travel deductions. Spend summers in MO fixing up those shabby rentals. For me I couldnt imagine a sweeter setup. Yay, mom and dad!
