Pull money out of 401k to purchase MF primary residence.

I'm currently evaluating the idea of withdrawing money from my 401k to purchase a small multi-family property for my primary residence. I would love to speak with anyone who has done this or thought about it themselves.

Also, does anyone have any perspective on debt assumptions or where to even start getting them for a deal under $1.5M? Local bank? Residential Mortgage Broker?

Depends on the market. In my market banks will go conventional at 5% for a SFR or Condo, but for 2-4 units, its going to be more. I was recently soft quoted 15% for 2 units and 25% for 3-4 units. 5+ is a different story.

You can use FHA if its a primary residence and go 5% down, but there are some pretty steep fees and as others have eluded to, PMI for life of loan hurts.
