ATTENTION LOS ANGELES COUNTY HOME BUYERS: Wonderful Castaic Home Available for 100% Financing

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

 

 

This immaculate 3bd/2ba, Marigold home with nearly 1,400 sq. ft. is in move-in condition.  With new paint and plush carpet & wood flooring. This corner lot has incredible views just waiting for the right family to move right on in. 

This is not some dumpy REO or a short sale or another home that needs a lot of work.  This is a wonderful home with motivated sellers. 

 

 

With easy access to freeways and local shopping, this Castaic home is also just minutes from Castaic Lake as well as Pyramid Lake where boating, swimming, fishing and camping are favorite pastimes for residents and visitors. 

Only a few miles from town is the Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park, which is a favorite destination for kids and families.

 

 

The best part about this home in the city of Castaic?  This incredible home is eligible for 100% financing through the USDA loan program.  For appox. $1,900 (PITI +HOA) a month, you could own this little piece of the country just outside of the city, which is actually less than what you would pay to rent this home for.  This wonderful home is definitely the best bang for your buck here in Los Angeles County.

The USDA Rural Guaranteed program extends 100% financing opportunities to help low-medium income residents purchase homes with no down payment required and no monthly mortgage insurance.  This program is only available in designated USDA eligible areas.  

The USDA eligible areas for Los Angeles County are as follows: 

Los Angeles County:  The areas surrounding Highway 126 west of Interstate 5 as well as the areas north of Highway 118 west of Interstate 5.  Other areas include the areas surrounding Highway 14 in the Antelope Valley, areas north of Interstate 210 in the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys as well as the areas surrounding Angeles Crest Highway. 

Eligible Cities Include:  Acton, Castaic, Frazier Park, Lake Los Angeles, Littlerock, Val Verde and some parts of Santa Clarita, Newhall, Valencia, Canyon Country, Palmdale, Quartz Hill, Lancaster as well as parts of San Fernando & San Gabriel valleys that are north of Interstate 210. 

There are income limit guidelines that applicants must qualify for to be eligible to apply.  These income limits are based on 115% of the median income for that county as well as family size.  In Los Angeles County the income limits range from 66k to 125k a year depending on the size of your household. 

Right now, there are dozens of properties in Los Angeles County that are eligible for a USDA Rural Guarantee home loan.  Some of these properties are not REO's or short sales but actual equity sales with really motivated sellers and are NOT like all the other run-down, dilapidated dumps you've been seeing.  Some have been remodeled and/or upgraded like this property. 

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.  Finding out more about affordable home loan options and getting pre-approved is an absolute must. 

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 Los Angeles County.  Applications for this program can only be submitted by approved lenders, for more information on the USDA Rural program guidelines and eligibility, please feel free to contact me, Donne Knudsen at donne4loans@earthlink.net or at 805.2069123.

Donne--I agree!   Not your typical distressed property.  Looks as if the sellers are even keeping it nice for showings and location can't be beat.  Good luck to the sellers on this one!

Donne - great information. Buyers with outstanding credit, job stability but no downpayment are able to be homeowners. The government wants to help them thru USDA Rural loans. The program is available to some pretty nice homes as witnesses by your photo. Who would have thought about Quarts Hills, Valencia and parts of Santa Clarita??

Stan - Castaic is a nice little community on the edge of Los Angeles county.  A little rural (that's why it's eligible for USDA) but still within county lines and a relatively easy metro commute (50min) to downtown.

Cheryl - I love Castaic too and have put a few borrowers there too with USDA.

Connie - It's true that my hyper-local posts like this one are the posts that generate the most leads for me.

Joan - Me too!

Anita - I love doing USDA loans.  Unfortunately, Los Angeles & Ventura counties don't have a lot of eligible areas but the few areas we do have are really nice areas.

Thx for stopping by folks; I really appreciate it.  Have a good night everyone.  :)

Ellie - Out here, I have to offer a lot of options to my borrowers.  Although I've been to most of the states in the country, FL is one of the few I haven't seen.

Jane - It is a great home and a wonderful little community.

Pat - The market here is absolutely saturated with run-down and dilapidated dumps.  It's so nice to actually see a really nice property once in awhile.  However, properties like these don't sit for long though.

Sarah - All really nice areas and yes, all are eligible for USDA too.  Like I said before, Los Angeles county doesn't have a lot of eligible areas but the few we have are pretty nice areas.

Thx for stopping by ladies; I really appreciate it.  Have a good night.  :)
