		<description>Hi Christine,

Unfortunately CalSTRS is very strict about the structure of the 80/17 and do not allow for larger down payments to reduce the loan amounts.

The interest rates on the non-conforming are still extremely low, that's the good news.  The conforming rates are very, very attractive though.

Also, keep in mind that the $417,000 is only the first loan amount - which limits your purchase price to $521,250.  As long as your purchase price does not exceed this amount, you are eligible for the conforming rate.

Hope this helps!  If you have further questions, give us a call at 866-667-6724</description>

		<description>I have a question about the 80/17 program.  In order to get the lower conforming loan interest rate, is it possible to pay more for a house upfront in order to get the loan amount below $417,000?  Any help with this is appreciated!  THanks.</description>
