Which California Mortgage Program is Best for You?
Below you will find information for mortgage programs that work in tandem with down payment assistance programs.
FHA loans are insured by the US Federal Housing Administration. They have flexible qualifying criteria that make them great to use with down payment assistance and first time home buyer programs. These loans help to overcome homeownership barriers with affordable financing, such as great interest rates.
VA home loans are guaranteed by the federal government through the Veterans Benefits Administration. These loans help eligible veterans secure funds for the purchase of a primary residency, and have some of the best benefits of any mortgage program.
USDA loans are aimed at low to moderate income homeowners in rural communities. Offered through government loan programs, USDA loans are easier to qualify for, have no down payment requirements, and better interest rates.
A conventional loan is a mortgage not insured by any government agency (ex/ FHA, VA or USDA). Guidelines for these loans are set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, and can be classified as conforming or non-conforming.
