Joseph O'Sullivan TSP Loans - Current Pros and Cons
29 March 2024 | 11 replies
The max Uncle Sam allows is 50k if you haven't taken a TSP loan in the last year.I've seen both good and bad experiences with this but at the end of the day it's no different from any other type of loan, you are just your own bank in a sense.The downside or risk is that you lose your job, your property isn't cash flowing, are unable to pay back the loan, and your retirement account suffers since the loan essentially turns into a withdrawal.The upside or best case is you have the loan for less than a year, your BRRRR pays off the loan, and you pay yourself interest 5% interest.The opportunity cost is if the stock market goes up 20% and you were only paying yourself 5% interest you'll miss out on the excess returns.
