HELOC vs Retirement funds to finance a down payment
I am trying to help my daughter purchase her first home. She will have the ability to pay the mortgage but I'd like to help her with the downpayment. I was interested in thoughts of whether it would be better to use a HELOC on my current house or withdraw the funds from my traditional IRA to fund this. Looking at between 100K and 150K to put down. Thoughts or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Would the IRA withdrawal subject you to the 10% penalty or put you in a higher tax bracket?
Is the money that your IRA earning annually(on average) higher than the interest rate on the HELOC?
I.E. if the HELOC has an interest rate of 7%.
Are you currently getting more than 7% through the IRA?
