Homes For Zero Down in Bakersfield California
One of the most frequent questions we are asked is about obtaining what the required down payment on a home will be, and if there are any programs for obtaining a "home for zero down" in Bakersfield.
Even though the mortgage industry has really tightened on the rules to qualify for for financing real estate, there are still a couple of options when it comes to purchasing a home with a zero down payment.
Zero Down for Veterans
If you are a veteran, you can purchase with no money down using VA or CalVet financing. The California Dept of Veteran Affairs (or CalVet) website offers a very good FAQ page for the housing benefits which may answer your questions and put you on the track for obtaining the benefits which you richly deserve for serving your country. It offers answers to questions about refinancing, loan terms, late payments, escrow, and more. We urge all veterans to visit this website and contact their local office for assistance and prequalification.
US Dept of Agriculture Mortgage Loans
For those who do not qualify for VA financing, there is the option of using USDA financing. The only drawbacks are that there are income restrictions and it only applies to homes purchased in the rural areas surrounding Bakersfield, such as Shafter, Wasco and Arvin.
Buying a Home in Bakersfield With Minimum Down
While not truly 100% financing, one of the most often used programs that requires a very minimal down payment is the California Homebuyer's Downpayment Assistance Program (CHDAP). With the use of a CHDAP junior loan and a FHA or CalHFA first loan, buyers are able to purchase their homes with as little as 1/2% down. Contact us for more details.
One important thing to keep in mind is that even with a zero or low down loan, there are still other costs associated with the purchase of a home. Closing costs and impounds that include taxes and insurance can total up to several percent of the purchase price of a home… Luckily, with our negotiating skills, we are usually able to get the seller to pay for most, if not all of the closing costs. We can help you buy the home of your dreams! Call us today and let's discuss it!
