Update: Mortgage Difficulties Solved

November 30th, 2025 at 07:40 pm

My mother is going to lend me 11k until next August. I will save as much as I can between now and then, then withdraw from my Roth to pay her.

I'm not going to get a HELOC. Instead, I'm going to enjoy owning my home free and clear. 😀

If the mail cooperates, I will be paying off the mortgage note this week.

Glad you found a solution and you might be surprised at not needing to withdraw from your roth!
