Complex 401k question

Mike Hay

I’m still learning the layout here so my apologies if this is in the wrong forum. 

My question pertains to a 401k hardship withdrawal. I’m aware of the 10% penalty and income tax ramifications and that it is generally a bad idea to withdraw under most circumstances. 

But....If my 401k plan allows me to take a hardship withdrawal to use as a down payment on an owner occupied residence, is it then possible to do a cash out refinance on the property 1-2 years down the road? Effectively recovering the 401k withdrawal as cash (minus penalties, taxes, closing costs of course). Assuming all LTV requirements are met and I still occupy the home.

The question popped into my head and I can’t find an answer anywhere. 

Thanks in advance to anyone who may have answers.
