The California Housing Finance Agency [last] Tuesday announced availability of new 30-year fixed-rate loans for first-time homebuyers at 4 percent interest.
The loan program, in partnership with the Federal Housing Administration, is for borrowers stymied by today's strict conventional lending requirements.
Borrowers must meet low- to moderate- income limits established by CalHFA.
CalHFA Executive Director Steven Spears says the option helps qualified first-time buyers get around some of today's extremely tight rules set by banks and lenders.
For more details, call CalHFA at (877) 922-5432.
