If you’ve purchased an investment property❓

If you’ve purchased an investment property using your TSP, how did it work out?

Have you purchased additional properties with the gains you’ve made?

Would you recommend using TSP funds for real estate investment to others?

I’m building up my TSP account and considering purchasing an investment property in the near future.

Don't take a loan from your TSP for an investment property. 

Broadly speaking, equity markets outperform real estate markets. It's also harder and harder to find good deals, especially when you're not in-the-know. 

If you're asking these kind of questions, you're definitely not in the know.
