I just recently got laid off and haven’t landed another job yet. I need to move my Vanguard 401k $ to an IRA account. Torn between traditional vs Roth IRA. Can someone suggest what’s best?Pros & cons?

Assuming 401k and not Roth 401k:

Traditional IRA - straight rollover, no tax implications.
Roth IRA - pickup the balance in income, pay taxes now, and remaining amount can grow tax free. The 401k contribution will be eligible for tax/penalty free early withdrawal since you’ve paid taxes on it. Don’t recommend early withdrawal unless you have substantial need for cash.

Also assuming you made no post tax contributions to prior 401k

If you are going to have less income this year, and be in lower tax brackets, maybe a good time to convert to Roth. Item to consider

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.
