I would like some really good advise. I know borrowing from your 401k is one of the worst things to do but I think that I am running without any other options. First time home buyer, prequalified, loan amount given, and a community great should be put in place. However the loan amount is not the best and I have no money. I have used my money to pay off bills to get my score high and that has worked. Now I have nothing to start from. I am thinking of Not borrowing but cashing out my 401k. I don't beleve that there is no assistance with this as far penalties for first time home buyers. I want to hear from someone who has done this. With all the benefits of being a home owner when you file your taxes does this help at all? I was thinking of pulling it out and than what i don't use roll into an IRA. Please give me some advise. I have been wanting my own home for years and I just cannot wait anymore.. Buyers dream and I am also thinking " praying that the market picks up" equity will build to what i have taken out. 20K

Careful. There is a difference between cashing out and rolling it into an IRA. Why do you feel the pressing need to buy a house now? Can you wait another year to get your savings up to a comfortable amount?
