401k - Loan Qualification

Just wondering if anyone can give some input on this... How does one's 401k retirment account affect them in qualifying for a home loan? The 401k account has not been borrowed against. Thanks in advance. by stevef1977 from Tampa, Florida. Feb 19th 2010 Reply

The vested balance in the account is used as one of the qualification indicators as an asset. It is a positive indicator as most program guidelines require a borrower to have certain number of loan payments in reserves.n Your reserves would include 75% of the vested balance.Did you know that you can also borrower from the 401K to pay for the purchase of a home without incurring any penalty from the IRS.
