How we used the San Diego first time home buyer downpayment assistance program to buy a home with 3% down and received 25% down payment assistance at 3% interest.

first time home buyer downpayment assistance program
Here’s our story. I had quit my job to start my own business and it was growing so we started house searching. We found a nice house that a guy paid an obscene amount for in a nice neighborhood.  We bought it for $.40 on the dollar from a bank using the San Diego first time home buyers down payment assistance program.   That’s right, we bought a San Diego home on a canyon with no neighbors in the back, 10 minutes from downtown, in a quiet neighborhood with almost no crime or noise for 60% off the previous rate. This program did more for us than we ever thought was possible. To get into this house I put 3% down. I used cash to buy my house for less than what many people in San Diego put down on a car. At the time of this writing I’m sitting on 40% of equity. That means in cash my house is worth 40% more than what I paid for it. I could sell my house today, move to another state and buy two houses free and clear to retire.

The real reason San Diego mortgage brokers and Realtors do not want you to know about or use the San Diego first time home buyers down payment assistance program.

There is actually a logical reason for this. Experienced San Diego mortgage brokers and Realtors are  business savvy people. I will call it exactly as as I see it here guys, and from experience I can tell you laziness and greed are exactly the reason most San Diego mortgage brokers and Realtors, as well as real estate investors did not want to work with me when I was a first time home buyer, and why they don’t want to work with you. San Diego mortgage brokers and Realtors do not want you to know about or use the San Diego first time home buyers down payment assistance program They all have one thing in common; most view it as contemptible to work with a San Diego first time home buyer.  I went through 100 mortgage people, I am not kidding. I went through 50 or so Realtors. And looking back it makes perfect sense why they will not work with you, and why they didn’t want to work with me. It makes sense why they give you misinformation or steer you the wrong way. It doesn’t make them money or it’s too much work for them. Folks like us represent a slower and more complicated process ending with a smaller commission. How shortsighted! It’s like you or I don’t have referrals to give them to triple their efforts with us. It’s like we will keep silent after someone helped us with the single largest economic decision of our lives. It drives me crazy, hence the reason I have started this Blog. I’ve already referred 2 first time San Diego home buyers to the 1 mortgage broker out of 100 who would work with me. They tripled their commission on me alone and if you call me I’ll gladly connect you....

Incredible perks that the San Diego housing commission did not want us to find out about.

Incredible perks that the San Diego housing commission
Looking back I shudder how close I came to listening to slimy rhetoric from San Diego mortgage brokers and realtors. 0% of it was true. Nothing, nada, zilch! The truth is there are not only plenty of money to help with your first home buyer purchase but there are incredible perks that the San Diego housing commission does not want you to find out about. They will never tell you, it’s buried deep on an obscure page on their website. You probably want to call me for this. For this as well as a list of informed honest realtors  and mortgage brokers call me at (619) 886-1826 or fill out the contact form below. Here is the link to the website that gave us a 25% down payment with a deferred payment for 30 years.   They also gave us 20% of that 25% down payment assistance, as a gift.   What? Yes. No we don’t have to give it back when we sell. It is a “forgiven” loan. That’s right, a LARGE gift to us. It’s like having the rich parents that we never had. Incredible perks that the San Diego housing commission did not want us to find out about.   One thing the San Diego housing commission will not tell you about the first time homebuyer downpayment assistance program, is that there are other specialty programs that can be used in conjunction with it to raise the amount of your loan without raising any cost to your personal down payment cash outlay. We could not believe the incredible incredible perks that the San Diego housing commission does not want us to find out about. There are special programs for led painting abatement which add up to $5000. With our land not being graded for proper water drainage ,...

Less than 10% of the Realtors in San Diego have the patience, work ethic, and knowledge to work with first time home buyers in San Diego. How do you find the right Realtor for you?

Less than 10% of the Realtors in San Diego have the patience, work ethic, and knowledge to work with first time home buyers in San Diego. How do you find the right Realtor for you?
Why would I say that less than 10% of the Realtors in San Diego have the qualities needed to work with San Diego first time home buyers? We literally talked to 50 different realtors in San Diego before we finally found one that had the patience, work ethic, knowledge and the ability to work with us as first time home buyers. Most had never worked with anyone in the program. Others would discourage us from using the program with negativity of why it’s not a good idea. It was pretty disorienting after repeatedly running into people who seemed convinced our dreams would never become reality. I am so thankful now of my dad training me about life saying “Son if you can think it, you can do it; it’s just a matter of when and how smart/hard you work.”   The absolute best realtors in San Diego for you to use are ones that used the first time homebuyer program themselves. Less than 10% of the Realtors in San Diego have the patience, work ethic, and knowledge to work with first time home buyers in San Diego. Realtors in San Diego that have been through the process themselves know how difficult the process is, all the pains and challenges you will have to go through. They also have relationships inside the San Diego housing commission that will prove invaluable going forward when the inevitable snags happen.  When the going gets rough, just having a positive minded, strong professional in your corner may be  just what you need to keep your dream alive and help with the perseverance you need to move into your own San Diego home. I am happy to tell you that can put you in touch with one that helped us tremendously with our purchase. And as you can...

How we had a happy ending fighting through the naysayers and negativity promoters.

How we had a happy ending fighting through the naysayers and negativity promoters
First off. The good news.  We had a happy ending fighting through the naysayers and negative circumstances. Right now my wife and I own a home we bought through the San Diego First time home buyers down payment assistance program for 3% down and received 25% down payment assistance with 3% interest and no payments due until 30 years later, on a home worth 40% more than what we paid for it. It sounds too good to be true but it DID happen to us. How we had a happy ending fighting through the naysayers and negativity promoters I talked to maybe 50 different realtors and over 100 mortgage brokers and this is the answer I received 99% of the time. “Oh! that program doesn’t exist anymore, or they’re out of money, or those programs really don’t work, it’s very very very difficult to qualify and you don’t want to be bothered with the process because they don’t give you the money after all your efforts.” Or “you don’t want to buy using them, sellers won’t want to work with you.” Then there were the sincere but very ignorant realtors who say this “I frankly don’t know anything about the program. I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve never had one person actually use it and get a home so I really don’t see the sense of doing it.” Don’t believe the hype from these salacious misfits. Beware of the dark side of San Diego realtors, mortgage brokers, and investors who will go to any length to prevent you from using the San Diego first time homebuyer downpayment assistance program through the San Diego housing commission. You absolutely must work with a Realtor and mortgage broker that cares about you as a person and your home purchase the...

Step 1: We had a “renters” mentality and now we have a “home owner” mentality thanks to the San Diego First Time Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program.

I truly believe if you plan on staying in San Diego for more than a few years the homebuyer downpayment assistance program is a Godsend for renters. Ask any renter in San Diego and most will tell you they will never be able to afford a home here. Most of them have all but counted out the San Diego homebuyer downpayment assistance program. If any of you reading this have swallowed that filthy propaganda I am so glad that you are reading my this Blog. I’m going to take a gun to the idea that you can never own a home in San Diego and I’m going to blow it up in 1 million pieces. That’s exactly where that negative cancerous thinking belongs, blown to bits.  The Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program is for people who hate renting.   Say it: I am good enough to own a home in San Diego! You are too smart to swallow hurtful agendas. You have worked too hard to waste your hard earned money continuing to rent. You  have developed an acumen and personal character and that shows very clearly that you deserve to have a beautiful piece of real estate here in San Diego. How we did it. How you will do it. You will do it smartly, with the right education, right encouragement, and the right partners. For some of you in the next 2 to 3 months you will be in your home and for others of you it will take a year at most.  We applied and were accepted in the homebuyer downpayment assistance program in a little over a week. We got ready financially 10 months before. The San Diego Housing Commission  loaned us 25% of the purchase price at 3% deferred payment for 30 years. 20% of that...

If this is you, then you might have what it takes to persevere through the rigors of being a first-time homebuyer here in San Diego. If you pay about $1200 a month in rent for 5 years; that’s $72,000 down the drain. Stop and think guys. What if you put that towards your home? Of course it depends on your long term goals, but if you like San Diego and plan on being here a while renting makes almost no sense. With owning a home you have no spiraling rent costs because the price of a mortgage is fixed for the next 30 years. The San Diego first time homebuyer down payment assistance programs put someone else’s money in your pocket with no payments for 30 years. When you do pay its at 3%. If you buy in an appreciating market like right now, and invest the saved money from a downpayment that didn’t come out of your pocket, you make money on the equity and your portfolio. You jump way ahead in personal net worth. Renting long term is a complete ripoff  comparitively. I’m happy to help you get started. You have to be very determined and disciplined.

Step 3: Move into your home by cultivating perseverance.

There only one way to move into to your home using the San Diego first time home buyer program. If it seems to you that I have a personal view of this San Diego first time homebuyer down payment assistance process. Absolutely. You’re absolutely correct. And I don’t apologize for that. I’m going to be frank and honest. Don’t get mad.  The fact remains that I’m in a beautiful house that I paid .45 on the dollar for and if you’re reading this you’re probably not. I’m very happy that you want to better your life and I am very happy to help you do that. I’m not going to be politically correct or say the right things or tell you what you want to hear. What you will have to deal with to move into your home. I’m going to tell you exactly how a lot of the process is unfair, unnecessary, is a waste of precious time but needs to be done; on time and correctly.  People will require you to sign things and meet them to sign things on a schedule that is disrespectful and borderline abusive. I felt the same feelings as when I was bullied in the 3rd grade and trained myself to whup some tail in revenge, but in this case there is not a thing in the world you can do. If you want to move into your home, you have to play by their rules. That will mean your perseverance needs to be in overdrive. You will have to maintain beast mode during this entire long drawn out process or let one of the inevitable obstacles chase your dream away. If you want to move into your home then you will weather every last minute appointment. You will persevere through being told...
