@Chad Smith@Chris Mason1) Regarding taking a 401k loan: You would have to confirm that your 401k plan allows for a 401k participant loan (and that you have not had a outstanding loan in the last 12 months since your ability to take a loan is reduced by the amount of the highest outstanding balance of any 401k loan that was outstanding in the last 12 months).If yes, you can borrow up to 50% of the balance not to exceed $50,000.The repayment terms are equal monthly/quarterly payments (as you prefer) of principal and interest (e.g. prime + 1%) spread over a 5 year term (or longer if you will use the loan to purchase your primary residence).
