The First-Time Home Buyer’s Guide (Reading)

[Adaora Nwogbo]

I started reading the First-Time Home Buyer Guide and I wanted to ask a question. When it comes to getting ready on the financial side for a home purchase Mindy Jensen says ''You'll want to have more than "just enough scraped together" for the down payment''. When investing in real estate would you consider your IRA and retirement plans as financing funds or is it best to look at other ways to gain funds either through creative financing or using standard saving methods. Im just in the first chapter she might talk about this later but i would like to get some opinions about how some investors approached their first home purchase and also around the topic 'Should and IRA and retirement plans be considered for use for financing? Thanks
