8/22/23 – California Dream for all – here we go again!

Happy Tuesday, and I hope you are doing well! I try to stay in front of things, and as many of you know, we had a program called the California Dream for All, where the state put up a 20% down payment for a 20% share in the property’s equity. This program was in such high demand that it lasted 11 days before the money was gone.

Rumor has it this program will again be available this October, so we are telling people to get pre-approved NOW if they want to buy a home using this program. I like the program as it helps first-time buyers get a house with 0 down and saves them 20% on the mortgage payment. It’s like taking a 7% rate and pushing it down to 5.6%. You can refinance the property and buy out the state when rates decrease. The loan has no PMI, and the income limits are generous at $180,000.00 household income. A first-time buyer has not owned a property in three years.

The California Dream For All may be the best opportunity for some people to buy soon, so let’s get their applications in ASAP. Once released, this program will last 5-15 days, so they need to get approved NOW!

It’s a tremendous excuse to call every lead you ever had!

Please let me know if you or anyone you know have any questions, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Interest rates are interesting! We had a Hurricane that almost blew us away over the weekend at 3 MPH, so predicting anything can be difficult. Yes, I am still hunkering down in my office, waiting for the storm to pass!
