Press Release Summary = Zero down payment home mortgage loan programs available for California first time home buyers
Press Release Body = For a California first time home buyer, the down payment is probably the biggest hurdle. It has been planted in the buyer\'s mind that a twenty per cent cash down payment is required.
But the mortgage marketplace is changing and with a good income and good credit, homes can be purchased with zero down, one hundred per cent financing.
There are California lenders that have specialized programs that want to help people purchase their first home. Some programs are tailored for people with damaged credit, while most can help people with little saved for a down payment.

There are numerous lenders that specialize in loans for first time home buyers. Some of these lenders will even loan up to 103 percent of the home\'s purchase price to include closing costs.
Loan programs are available where up to $300,700 can be borrowed. There are a few lenders offering zero down jumbo mortgages over $300,700.
The best way to buy your first home for no cash out of your pocket is to qualify for a 100 percent mortgage where the borrower receives a pre-approval letter or certificate from the lender.
Getting pre approved will help determine what price range to be looking in for California real estate. Many first-time borrowers confuse being "pre-qualified" with being "pre-approved." Pre-qualification is a pretty casual process, where you are told how much money can probably be borrowed based on income and existing debt.
It is very important to take into consideration expenses for things like repairs and maintenance that are currently paid for by your landlord.
In the eyes of the seller a pre-approved buyer is far more credible than a pre-qualified one. To obtain pre-approval letter a formal loan application is submitted with all the relevant documentation. Everything is verified and credit is checked, then the California mortgage lender agrees in writing to make the loan. The loan will be subject to a satisfactory property appraisal and title search.
With interest rates as low as they are right now, this is arguably the best time for first time home buyers to enter the real estate market.
