This is kinda-not-really an investment question, but I think more eyes would see it here and would like to get some opinions:
I'm looking for ways to quickly pay off my mortgage beyond simply paying extra principal payments. Seems like two common strategies are the HELOC and borrow from your 401k.
Which brings me to the borrow from the 401k option. Generally, this is considered not ideal since you could lose gains while this borrowed chunk is being repaid. However, it is a hedge against a market downturn. Which, from all indications (I think?) we are probably at the "top" of the market, so checking out say, 50 grand, from my 401k to drop on my mortgage may not be too bad of an idea?
