or your credit isn't perfect, so nobody will approve of your loan? Then
this program is for you!
We have the Answer.
A new lease-to-own program offered by the Pacific
Housing and Finance Agency (PHFA) will finance your down payment and pay
all initial closing costs!
PHFA is a coalition of California cities and
counties that have joined together to help individuals who can afford monthly
payments but lack enough savings to pay for the additional costs associated
with buying a home.
All real estate transactions are guided by
licensed real estate professionals from California City Real Estate who
are familiar with the PHFA program.
Home loans are funded by participating lenders
and are underwritten based on the federal Freddie Mac requirements.
How the Program Works
Select any new or existing
home in California City,
PHFA will buy the home, finance a 3%
down payment and pay all closing costs.
You pay a 1% participation fee, move
in and your first lease payment isn't due until the 15th of the month.
For the next 39 months you make the monthly
lease payments
After the lease period, you assume title
to the house with a competitive interest rate loan for the remainder of
the mortgage.
All equity from the reduction in principal
and increase in value is yours to keep.
If you are unable to assume the title
to the home for any reason, you may terminate your lease without penalty.
It's Easy to Qualify!
To qualify for the program:
Your credit history will need to meet
our basic requirements.
Your combined annual household income
must be less than $77,500.
Your maximum home purchase price cannot

You need not be a first-time home buyer
to qualify, but current homeowners are not eligible.
