Can You Use Roth IRA Money To Buy A House? 
This is a great question !!! The answer is yes - Roth IRA rules allow for first time home buyers to be able to withdraw up to $ 10,000 tax free to help purchase their home . This is true regardless of your age , the 59 1/2 age requirement is waived , and so is the five year rule -LRB- your account must be opened for a minimum of five years to avoid taxes and penalties -RRB- . I am a big fan of Roth 's , and this is one of the reasons why . Go see your plan administrator , and happy house hunting ! Thanks for asking !
