Loan Program for Teachers in California
Calling all Teachers… Incase you didn’t know, CalSTRS is the California State Teachers Retirement Program that provides retirement related benefits to teachers in public schools and community colleges in California. Back in 1984 CalSTRS developed a home loan program which was designed for an additional option for home financing for it members and retirees. Giving its members and retirees additional mortgage loan options at competitive rates. This is a great option for you first time home buyers as it only requires a 3% down payment. You can compare this program with an FHA loan as it requires a 3.5% down payment. A big thank you to Dean Rizzi of Guarantee Mortgage for sharing this program with us.

Great information Nicole, and yes thanks to Dean and the group at Guarantee Mortgage. It is important that we get this information to the consumers,allowing them to make smart decisions.
Nicole,
Nice recap. As of today the rates on a 3% down CalSTRS loan are 5% for conforming and 6% for jumbo… much better than I quoted on Monday! And remember, no PMI on these loans.
Thanks for sharing the information, Nicole.
It’s a great way for teachers to become homeowners
and become more involved in the local communities.
