Do you live in Long Beach, California? Where you are becoming hopeless of owning your own home because you didn’t have a huge down payment? Well good news is you can still get that dream home! Even if you are not earning much or your down payment budget is small, you can still buy a house with a small half percent down payment and zero to no closing costs.
Wondering how? A California Homebuyers Down Payment Assistance Program (CHDAP) loan will help you buy a house.
What is the California Homebuyers Down Payment Assistance Program?
This program helps you to buy your dream home without a very little deposit. So you don’t need to worry about having a large down payment. To add on you can buy without any closing costs only if you utilize the CHDAP loan with help of the seller- not more than 6%. Of course later on you will need to repay it but for now you can have your own home.
Upto 3% of your chosen home’s purchase price can be deferred.
