401k Withdrawal for a house?

I agree with the idea of taking a loan against it. I just did so, as I had 2 cc that tried to do the rate / rape hike. I borrowed 4500, at 4.5% versus paying 21/23% to the credit cards. I was paying out 150 a month for these 2, and instead, i get a deduction fo 48 bucks every 2 weeks. so I am saving 50 bucks a month on the same amount of debt, but the 50 go can towards balance or elsewhere making futher pogress. You may lose out on some interest on 401 but the growth in equity on the house (if bought right) will far out weigh the interest on the 401K.
