Although this may not be an option for everyone, some people may be able to withdraw up to
00:12
$10,000 from a Roth IRA account free of taxes and penalties to purchase a home.

on this, but the same can't be said for any growth on your account.
00:29
You'll be charged a 10% penalty for withdrawing money unless you reach the age of 59 and a

00:39
Vestopedia recommends looking into first-time buyer offers, which also apply to people who
00:45
haven't owned a home in three years or only owned a house with a spouse.
00:50
You can also tap into down payment assistance programs like the Federal Housing Administration,

or even speak to family who can give you monetary gifts for birthdays and Christmas to help
01:10
you save for that down payment.
