Yes for a home. I borrowed against it and pay myself back.

like

Yes, and with interest. I also only took out a sum that I knew I could pay back quickly if I left my company and needed to pay back the full loan

Yes when I moved. And you can’t beat the interest rate. Best thing I ever did as I am laying myself back through payroll deduction and I can choose the length of payback. Sure beats taking out a bank loan

like

Yup, twice. For down payments on my main home and rental property. I’ve already paid the first back and almost finished with the second. In essence your paying yourself back and the interest rate is far better than any bank loan offer at the time.

like

No and don’t.

like

Yes, to invest in real estate. I like my 401k, but I didn’t want it to be everything. My real estate had a way better return, and I paid off the loan, so I’m ok with it. It was small enough to not make a large dent in the account though.

like

Yes, to increase down payment on home build. Agree with others that based on rates at that time it was a great decision.

like

Yep!

like

Yes - whatever the mo payment is will come out of your paycheck

Yes, great way to help you increase your down payment on a home. You ‘pay interest’ on the loan, but it’s paid back to yourself in the form of the required increased deposits into your 401k over the course of the loan

Whats the payback duration?

You get to pick your payback duration

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…

Is it a red flag as a candidate to ask if a company offers maternity leave? I was recently laid off, so I wasn't expecting to lose my job. We're planning on trying for a baby in the next year or so, so it's really important to me that my next job offers paid maternity leave.

The issue is that it's so rarely advertised on company web sites, but ultimately better maternity leave would sway my decision for a job. Is there a way to ask this tactfully? Or without raising red flags?
