Can I use 401k Hardship Withdrawal if I have money in the bank?

checkster2005 asked:


I would like to buy a house, say for 100K. I want to put 20% down and I do have 20K in my checking account. But I would rather take 26K (20K minus tax and penalties) out of my 401K even if I can afford it.

JPMorgan and IRS say I can take out (Not borrow, you don’t have to pay it back) money out of my 401K under the Hardship Withdrawal for the downpayment only. Will I qualify since I could afford the 20K downpayment with my checking account? In other words, must I legally pay off my downpayment with my cash at hand before dipping into my 401k?

I can’t find any of these details online. I already know all the pitfalls of a Hardship Withdrawal versus loans etc.
Great answer Ryan M. You mention a 10% penalty off the bat…where does that come from? I called JPMorgan and they said there is no penalty under my plan. Just taxes :(

I have poor credit and no money, who would loan money for me to invest in flipping houses?

L H asked:


I am interested in purchasing investment properties below market value, rehabing them, and selling them as affordable housing. Is there a company out there that would finance me with a hard money loan or a bad credit/no credit loan?

If I have cash to pay off mortgage, am I better off paying it or keeping the loan?

How Soon Can I Take Out a Home Equity Loan or Refinance After a Cash Purchase of a Foreclosure?

don c asked:


The house is only 10k. So if I pay 10k cash, how fast can I do a home equity loan for that 10k? I need to make repairs as it is a foreclosure in poor condition. Can I do a refinance loan and get more than I even paid for it if it appraises higher than 10k, which it will? Thanks for any help
