CalTAP or TAP USA Combo Loan Benefits:

  1. An 80-10-10 mortgage comprises two loans: the first is a fixed-rate loan covering 80% of the home's cost; the second is a home equity loan for 10%; and the final 10% is provided as a cash down payment. Higher purchase prices may necessitate a larger second mortgage or down payment.
  2. This mortgage structure lowers the down payment for a home without requiring private mortgage insurance (PMI), allowing borrowers to secure a home without additional up-front costs.
  3. Increase your purchasing power beyond county loan limits without needing a Jumbo loan, which typically requires a 20% down payment and reserves of 6 to 12 months of mortgage payments.
