closing cost assistance: WEST HOLLYWOOD CONDO: Eligible for Fannie Mae HomePath Program - 09/19/11 03:32 PM
 
One of the hardest hit markets in Los Angeles & Ventura counties is the condo market.  Nowadays, condo financing is extremely challenging because so many condo complexes are simply not eligible for any kind of financing, - PERIOD!!!    For buyers in the lower end of the market here, buying a condo is nearly impossible.
As a result, many condo sales are strictly all-cash investors looking for rental income, which makes any future financed sales even more remote and less likely than ever before.  The biggest issue with getting condo financing is that a) the owner occupancy rates are too low, b) the … (10 comments)

closing cost assistance: CITY OF SIMI VALLEY - First Time Home Buyer Program - Part 3 - 02/09/09 10:18 PM
The City of Simi Valley offers a First-Time Home Buyer Assistance Program to qualified low income first-time homebuyers who wish to purchase their first home in Simi Valley.  I like this program because the Simi Valley city administrators for this program are not only the easiest ones to reach but they are also some of the friendliest ones to talk to and deal with. 
The property may be a detached or an attached single-family home, a condominium, or a town house.  The program is available to those who have not owned a home in the last three years.  Single parents who … (18 comments)

closing cost assistance: CITY OF PORT HUENEME - Home Buyer Assistance Program (HBAP) - Part 2 - 02/09/09 09:46 PM
The city of Port Hueneme actually has two different down payment assistant programs, the Home Buyer Assistance Program (HBAP) and the CalHOME program.  Both programs are specifically geared to the low-moderate income individuals and families.  Both programs have sufficient funds for new applicants and reservations although the CalHOME program is a little more limited than the HBAP.

closing cost assistance: ATTENTION VENTURA COUNTY REALTORS & THEIR FIRST TIME BUYERS: Down Payment Assistance is Still Alive in Ventura County - 02/09/09 07:12 PM
With the death of seller funded down payment assistance programs last fall, I thought that many of the local programs here in Ventura County would quickly follow suit.  However, that hasn't been the case.  Here in Ventura County, down payment assistance is still alive.  When I first started this post about the different programs here, it soon became obvious that to put all of this great info into one post would definitely be asking too much for people to read.  In other words, it was waaayyy too long. 
It has been kindly suggested to me by some of my fellow Rainers … (0 comments)
