There is however some good news for first time home buyers with FHA loans making a comeback. This news is good for many people who have been hoping to invest in a property in the city.
So, who is actually a good candidate for a FHA loan? These loans are great for people who are working and can afford the loan payments, but may need some help with the initial down payment. For people straight out of school or college in their first job placements, an FHA loan may be exactly what they are looking for. They can get help from their parents or their relatives with the down-payment, as long as they can afford the monthly payments on their own. A FHA loan requires a 3% down payment which is very reasonable compared to may of the other loans out there that now ask for a 5% down payment. For first time buyers, the high percentages of the down payment can be a nightmare and put a complete stop to their hopes of investing in a San Diego home. The come back of FHA loans can be a great solution to many first time home buyers in the area, and will open up many more doors for them.
