ATTENTION VENTURA COUNTY FIRST TIME BUYERS: Down Payment Assistance Available on Surfside Properties

By
Mortgage and Lending with Los Angeles & Ventura Counties in CA

There are currently three properties available in this FHA approved, Port Hueneme complex that are eligible for down payment assistance.  At the end of Surfside Dr. and only a block from the beach, this complex offers an indoor pool, spa, clubhouse, playground, workout room, fishing pier and garages for the larger units with covered carports for the smaller units.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the young professional looking to get out on their own (and out of their parents home) or the young couple just starting out, for $1,725 a month (PITI+HOA), you can own this 3bd/2.5ba unit with nearly 1,300 sq. ft with its own private sundeck and a garage with a driveway.  Close to shopping, restaurants, the pier, the marina and the CBC Naval Base, this property is by far, your best bang for your buck for a beach lifestyle in this wonderful seaside community.

The best part is that these units are eligible for CalHFA's FHA program as well as the down payment assistance program, CHDAP, too.  CalHFA FHA offers a reduced interest rate for eligible homebuyers who meet the low-medium income limits (based on household size).  The following are the current rates to eligible low-medium income applicants:

 

CHDAP provides down payment assistance in the form of a deferred payment second loan, commonly referred to as a "silent second" because you make no payments on the loan for as long as you hold the loan.  The amount of the loan is up to the lesser of three percent (3%) of the purchase price or appraised value.  Interest is calculated at 3.25% per annum simple interest and is not due until the loan is sold and/or refinanced. 

Today's real estate market can be really scary, which is why it's important to get as much information as possible before starting your search.  The pre-approval process is not a simple process and it's because it can get really complicated and convoluted, that borrowers today need affordable loan options that are best suited for their own needs. 

That's what I'm here for and I would love to be able to assist you in your search for an affordable home loan here in Ventura County.  For more information, please feel free to contact me, Donne Knudsen, at 805.5278554 or donne4loans@earthlink.net.

Donne - I love this complex. There are 4 different styles of condos and and townhomes within the Surfside area. It is so nice to see that there are other programs to help out the first time buyer. And look at those rates.

Sherilyn - You and me both!  Ventura county is considered a high-cost county so the cost of living here is higher than it is in Los Angeles county.  However, Port Hueneme is a naval town and so there are a lot of low-medium income residents who need as much help as they can in order to realize the dream of homeownership.

Ken - I am so glad my post was able to attract the attention of a local Realtor familiar with this area and complex.  You are so right about the Surfside complex and as you very well know, the residents here have only a short walk and minutes later they are at the beach.  Port Hueneme is also a nice little beach town for young professionals.  There is also a 1bd and 2ba units available that are less expensive.

Thx for stopping by folks; I really appreciate it.  Have a good day and a wonderful weekend.  :)

Donne;  This is a great program for folks who are struggling, or may never be able to get into a home of their own without a helping hand.    We need more of these in ALL areas.

Carol - Thx for the kind words; I appreciate it. I do my best to stay on top of all the various affordable home loan options available to my clients.

Kat - Out here in Los Angeles & Ventura counties, most low-medium income individuals and families struggle to buy their first home.  The irony is that most of them could own a home for less than what they're paying in rent for their apartments.

Rebecca - I do my best.  This is the niche that I have spent eight years serving and it's what I know best.

Thx for stopping by ladies; I really appreciate it.  Have a wonderful weekend.  :)
