Interest Free 401k loan to purchase house
This is not question but to tell people there's way to finance yourself. Lets say you have 401k about 200k. Lets say you contribute $800 every month. You could borrow up to usually 50k for mortgage loan. The rate is about 5.25% or similar for 5 years. However you could also construct a bond/stock portfolio where it generates 5% or more in today's interest rate. So lets say your payment to the loan is $300 every month. But you generate $290-$310 dividend/interest income too from your portfolio. So technically your loan is pretty much "free" because of these arbitrage position. After 5 years, you could borrow 50k again, with rate lower than today's mortgage.
