You could pump up your 401k contributions in order to lower your taxes and then take a loan out against your 401k for the down-payment. It's a little risky in that if you lose your job they might request you to pay off the loan but I've had a few coworker do this in order to get a house.
My 401K was completely emptied during covid cause I couldn't survive otherwise especially on $600 a month in unemployment. And I just now have started back into it as of last month after getting a new contract.
So I could make myself extra poor now and lose any liquidity so I can maybe eventually save up to take a loan I will certainly be fucked by on top of my mortgage I still can't afford per month?
Look its an honest idea and thank you but hell no.
