The Trump administration plans to announce next week a proposal allowing Americans to tap their 401(k) plans for a home down payment.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told Fox Business that President Donald Trump will unveil the plan in Davos. “We’re still talking about the mechanics of it, but suppose that you put 10% down on a home and then you take 10% of the equity on the home and put it in as an asset in your 401(k), then your 401(k) would grow over time as the value of your house grows,” Hassett said.

“It would be more money for retirement, and you’ll have solved the liquidity constraint problem and gotten yourself a house earlier in life,” he added, citing sharply higher down payments and monthly housing costs in recent years.

According to CNBC Make It, in 2019, three Pennsylvania entrepreneurs—Jesse Wig, Adam Colucci, and Dan Spanovich—purchased an abandoned high school in Homestead, Pennsylvania, for $100,000.

Recognizing its potential, they invested approximately $3.3 million to transform the 50,000-square-foot building into Bowtie High, a 31-unit luxury apartment complex. The renovation preserved historical elements, such as the auditorium, now a community space, and the gymnasium, which features a half-basketball court equipped with Peloton bikes.

The project reached full occupancy within six months of leasing in October 2021, generating over $500,000 in annual rental income. Encouraged by this success, the trio has acquired additional schools for similar redevelopment projects.
