Using Loan Against Retirement For FHA Loan Down Payment In California is a post from: FHA,VA and Conventional Home Loans in all 50 States

To qualify FHA loan it is required that you have a minimum of a 3.5% FHA loan down payment.  This 3.5% can also come as a gift from a relative.  Another way to come up with the FHA loan down payment is the get a temporary loan from borrowing from your IRA or 401k.  There are some excellent benefits to using this method to get the down payment to qualify FHA loan:

  • When you borrower from your 401k or IRA, the underwriter will not count the monthly payment you make to pay back this loan for FHA loan approval
  • Many times when to take out a loan against your 401k or IRA there is no interest and you only pay yourself back
  • When you take a loan out against your 401k or IRA vs. cashing it out, there is no penalty and you keep your money invested gaining interest

So if you are struggling for a way to come up with the required 3.5% FHA loan down payment, consider taking a temporary loan out against your IRA or 401k to raise the down payment. 

And here are some very up-to-date latest benefits of both FHA loans in California and conventional loans in California:
