Heroes Home Loan

100% NEW HOME FINANCING*

  • Saving up for a large down payment can be a huge challenge for first-time homebuyers. And if you do find financing with less than 20% down payment, it usually means that you still have to pay for expensive private mortgage insurance.

    But our exclusive Heroes Home Loan for active-duty sworn and civilian law enforcement personnel will help make your homeownership dream come true, with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance. Choose a stable 30-yr fixed rate at 7.750% / 7.853% APR or 40-yr fixed rate at 7.750% / 7.841% APR.

    Requirements:
    Cannot have owned a CA home in the last 2 years • 700 FICO® Score minimum • 3 months of payment reserves in savings • 45% debt-to-income ratio maximum • complete first-time buyer online class • $250 non-refundable application fee

    Purchase your first home with:

    • No down payment
    • No private mortgage insurance
    • 30 or 40-year fixed rate available
