This should be an ABSOLUTELY last resort….. young millennials and gen z are on average GROSSLY underfunded for retirement….

But wouldn’t you lose out on potential growth since the money is no longer in the market?

So now we’re leveraging our 401ks on liabilities? Crazy work

I think the headline really should be "home ownership so unattainable we now have to normalize taking from retirement accounts". Lol this housing market is a joke.

401k repayment does not get factored into the DTI.

And you’d be paying that loan back pre-tax, right? So you’d pay it back easier than if you were making post-tax contributions to a savings account to build up a down payment

But why? Why drain your retirement savings to buy a house? You can save for both and rent

401k loan is not factored into DTI because you’re paying yourself and could theoretically not pay it back

Can you do a video on options for mortgage loans for people with ITIN?

Jesse Jernigan :
If the options are either to continue renting, or take a loan against a 401k for a down payment, the choice is easy. The truth is that this is a good idea for some people. There’s even other situations where this makes sense. Some people just won’t get it because they’ve been told their whole lives never to touch their 401k.
