We are building a new home and selling our current residence.
We have about 80k in our 401ks. I need to borrow or withdraw up to 15k for the down payment.
I already have one general 401k loan for 9k. Our current home has about 30k in equity, although we should end up with 20k when everything is said in done. Even though we will get that money when this one sells, I'd rather have the down payment in the bank, as our contract on the new home is not continent on selling our current.
How can I access the funds without taking a huge penalty? I thought I could roll over the money into an IRA and be able to take the once in a lifetime, 10k withdrawal for the new home but I think I can't because we have owned a home in the last two years.
I thought about paying off the current loan then being able to access the funds through another loan.
Stuck. We have 800+ credit scores, so I guess I could do a HELOC on the old home.
