Being a First Time Buyer

Many California First Time Buyers are interested in buying Condos. Condos are generally more affordable, and are located in areas the young people want to be in. Many first time buyers are used to the apartment lifestyle and don't want to bother maintaining a yard.

Buying with "No Money Down"

Having money to put down is a huge deal for many first time home buyers in California. Right out of college, most home buyers don't have a 20% down payment. Good news, there are special programs, and government backed programs that allow you to purchase a home for the first time with no money down. The California home loan for first time home buyers is also a special program that subsidizes the mortgage. You must have decent credit and employment history to buy with 100% financing.
