Pre-Approval is the ability to buy a home with confidence.

It’s the easiest way to make certain you don’t miss out on the perfect home. If you would like to be a first-time home buyer, but are hesitant to buy a home because of your credit, don’t worry, there are a variety of home loan programs that you may qualify for.

I would like to buy a home, do I need a Conventional Loan or FHA Loan?

First you need to see what you qualify for. This is when your credit history and credit score fall into place. Hopefully you paid your bills on time and built a good credit score, but not to worry if you didn’t because you can still get a loan with at least a 580 credit score. Now this divides you into two categories, will a Conventional Loan or an FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loan work for you? That depends on your FICO score, so if you have a credit score of 620 or more, then you may qualify for a Conventional Loan, you will need a minimum down payment of at least 3%. If your score is 500 or more then you may qualify for an FHA loan, which you will need a minimum down payment of at least 3.5%.

California Discloure Laws

California law requires every seller to provide the potential buyer with a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement. A transfer disclosure statement (TDS) is required by California law in section 1102 of the California Civil Code. On this pre-printed form, the seller is required to disclose all known problems with the property, such as: structural defects, problems with the roof, windows, air conditioning, heating, plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems, water damage, noise problems (schools, bands, airplanes, etc..), easements, environmental hazards, zoning and permit violations, taxes, fire, flooding, etc… A Seller cannot deny they were unaware of a problem, because the seller is required to perform his or her own inspection of the property. A buyer should always carefully review the disclosure statement.
