Home Buyer Programs--Los Angeles County
1. 2009 / 2010 Federal Tax Credit (IRS Form 5405)- The tax credit does not have to be repaid. The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home's purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000 for first time home owners and $6,500 for existing home owners. The credit is available for homes purchased on or after January 1, 2009 and before April 30, 2010. Income limitations apply.
2. FHA (Federal Housing Administration) Loans – FHA is still providing much needed guarantees and increasing liquidity for home buyers with a 3½ % down payment required and up to 6% in seller paid closing costs or repairs. However, in more competitive markets, having an FHA loan limit your chances of being accepted particularly in foreclosure properties.
LA Housing Dept-NSP program—Provides funding for first time home buyers up to $50,000 for rehab repairs to buy bank-owned properties within specific “Priority” areas. This program has proven to be difficult because the property must be purchased at a discount and homes sold in the San Fernando Valley are typically selling for All Cash or Conventional (20% down or more) at full asking price or sometimes even 5 or 10% over asking.

How to Buy a Great House
There are many factors to consider when selecting a neighborhood that is right for you. Below are just a few of the many factors. You may think of others that are important to you.
Neighborhoods have characteristic personalities designed to best suit single people, growing families, two-career couples, or retirees. Porter Ranch is a desirable areas for families because of the award winning Castlebay Lane elementary school.
It is important that you scout the neighborhood in person. Talk to people who live there. Check for crime statistics or sign up for LAPD e-policing at www.lapdonline.org I really like the Crime Mapping feature which shows recent crimes on a mapping feature like google maps at www.lapdcrimemaps.org.
Another important research tool is to check the sex offender list under Megans Law at www.meganslaw.ca.gov
Drive through the entire area at different times of the day particularly night, during the week and on weekends. Look carefully at how well other homes in the area are being maintained; are they painted, are the yards well cared for; are parked cars in good condition, etc.
