I've been thinking about cashing out my IRA and buying a house. Of course I woud incur the tax hit and te early withdrawal penalty but I think getting back into a house as opposed to renting could be a good idea. My rent payment can become a mortgage payment and be cut in half. The half I would save I can then contirbute back into a retirement account. Any opinions on this?
