Asset secured loans and 401(k) secured loans are a great way to fund the downpayment for those not eligible for the CalPERS 100 percent financing.
  • Does the borrower lack the downpayment funds, or does not contribute to the CalPERS retirement account?

  • Has the borrower not been contributing long enough to be eligible to obtain a CalPERS Personal Loan?
  • Does the borrower want to avoid paying for mortgage insurance, but lacks a 20 percent downpayment?
  • Do you want to utilize a CalPERS Personal Loan for a portion of the 5 percent downpayment, but the borrower lacks sufficient funds to fill the gap?
    You can use an asset secured loan for the downpayment, or a portion of the downpayment, on a CalPERS mortgage loan. Check with the 401(k), insurance administrator, credit union, or bank about securing this loan for a downpayment with a CalPERS Mortgage Loan.
