Using Your 401(k) to Buy a Home: Costs and Alternatives
REAL NUMBERS, REAL TALK 
Something that buyers have said when considering buying a home — pulling money from your 401(k) to assist with your down payment or closing costs. Sounds simple, right? Just pull the money and go.
Jay and Andy break down why it's not that simple this week — what it actually costs you, what most people don't find out until it's too late, and the options you probably haven't considered instead.
If you've got retirement savings sitting there and a home purchase on your mind, you'll want to hear this one before you make a move. 
Listen to the episode below.
