Bridge loan from grandparents (in law) to buy a home, do it?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 5th, 2025 12:28 PM Author: Shimmering foreskin Second home. Pride getting in the way. Wife’s parents are wealthy but they don’t help or talk to us. My dad is house poor and my mom dead. We are in a decent financial situation if I sell all my stocks or take a 401k loan. But don’t have the $150k down payment bc it’s all in my home equity. They want to loan us $150k and we pay them back as soon as we sell ours.
Too much pride to do this I think. Sold baseball autographs I got as a kid just to eat when I bought my first place during Covid which doubled. Mainly bc I know her parents will talk shit like they always have.

|
Date: May 5th, 2025 5:01 PM Author: Laughsome bbw crotch This is a better arrangement than them paying the down payment and later claiming ownership in the house.
if its a short term loan you know you can pay back immediately this is OK to do imo |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 5:04 PM Author: Shimmering foreskin It’s more the principle of it. I would be paying it back next month when we sell our place. That’s not the issue. The issue is if I’m paying interest I might was we’ll not have it held over my head and embarrassed that I “took money and didn’t do it myself.”
People in the family will act like I took the money/not loan. Rather just do it myself. |

Date: May 5th, 2025 5:38 PM Author: flushed magical people who are hurt 1) If you can't VERY easily come up with $150k, you shouldn't be buying a 2nd home. 2) If you get a loan from family, you should definitely pay reasonably interest. Otherwise they're more likley to potentially try to hold it over your head. (Exception if it's your immediate family and no-one involved is mentally ill) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 5:43 PM Author: Shimmering foreskin Grandparents aren’t immediate family?
I can come up with it, it’s just tied up in a million different things. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 5:48 PM Author: flushed magical people who are hurt No, and especially not when it's your wife's grandparants.
If you have any other options, I recommend not borrowing from family. Even if grandparents are chill, very high chance it will piss off some ancillary relation who will hold / use it against you and your wife forever.
I've had great experience using 401k loans. You can amortize over 30 years when using to buy a home. I was capped at $50k, but I forget why.
Have you looked at portfolio loans / lines for non-retirement accounts?
If you have crypto, you can borrow against at 50% LTV very easily. |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 5:56 PM Author: Shimmering foreskin Also I didn’t ask them my wife did. Tell me about the 401k loan. Dumb question. Let’s say I take out $50k (that’s the cap) and it’s in SPY/large caps. SPY the day I take it out is $560 a share. It’s like selling it at that price? Then when it’s paid back they rebuy it? Very confused how it works. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5720662&forum_id=2#48906390) |
|
Date: May 5th, 2025 6:06 PM Author: flushed magical people who are hurt Yeah, it's exactly like selling at that price and making the loan to you. When you pay back, it's treated just like any other contribution and assets are purchased accordingly.
So if the market goes up while loan it outstanding, you miss out on the upside. |

If you only have $42k in non-retirement accounts, you're really not in the financial position to buy a second home.
Another option is a HELOC on current home. |

Should have said “this would be my second (in sequence) home.” I did say “bridge loan” which would imply that. |
