Using money from retirement plan to buy a property?

[Andy Wilson]

Hi BP!

I want to keep my current properties with low interest rates locked but need to buy a property for my primary residence. I don't have enough funds for downpayment for that. Would you recommend to draw some money in my retirement plan or to use HELOC with current high rates?

Thanks for your advice in advance!

I have a vanguard 401k account at my job. I am able to take up to two loans out on it that I pay back to myself. I did one for first property and I’m glad I did it every first of the month.
