Is there a benefit in investing your money in a Roth IRA VS high yield savings account or something else. DH feels we shouldn’t put too much in Roth IRA because we need the money for a down payment. If I can take out 10k when I need it for a house, is it better to invest the money in my Roth account or something else?

Roth IRA is an investment account for retirement. There’s a penalty if you withdraw the money before you’re a certain age, I think 59

You can invest with a regular account

I just opened a post on this.
We've kept our $ in a HYSA but the rates keep dropping and we don't feel it's worth it anymore.
To my understanding you can withdraw your entire Roth contribution penalty free.
The 10k limit is only on earnings.
