California Mortgage Loan Origination Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

First, decide with your parents on price and terms. Put the agreement in writing. Although you can find a purchase agreement form on line, you might consider paying a local Realtor a flat fee to manage your transaction for you. I would be money well spent, as transactions have a lot more moving parts today than ever before.Are they selling the property to you at a below market price? If so, you may be able to buy the home with no money out of pocket; the reduction in the price would be considered a “gift of equity” and could be treated as the down payment.Find a mortgage loan officer in your area who can help you with the financing. Don’t rely on one of the “call center” mortgage companies. They advertise very heavily, but they are not in a position to help your transaction close if it is at all out of the ordinary.Finally, check with your local tax collector to see if you can preserve your parents’ tax base. Here in California, property is assessed based on the purchase price. Someone buying a home for, say, $400,000 would expect taxes of around $5,000 per year in California. This might be a big jump from the owner’s tax bill if they have owned the property for a long time. It’s possible in my state to preserve the original tax base in a sale between parents (or grandparents) and children. Your state may have the same policy. It’s worth checking.I hope this is useful.

It could be as little as zero.When you say “bad credit,” you don’t specify what you consider to be “bad.” As a rule, the minimum FICO required for a government-insured FHA loan of 96.5% (3.5% down payment) is 580. In order to have a score at that level, one would have to have some combination of the following:Accounts that are presently delinquentRecent (2 year) history of late paymentsLiens and/or judgments of recordCollection accountsHigh credit card balances relative to the credit limit (balances over 30% begin to affect the score negatively)Even though FHA allows a 580 score for a loan with 3.5% down, they will typically require that a borrower resolve liens, judgments and non-medical collection accounts. Ironically, doing that will raise the credit score by quite a lot in most cases.If you served in the U.S. military, you may be eligible for a VA loan. This is typically a 100% loan, so no down payment is required. The credit requirements are essentially the same as for FHA loans.Many states, like California, where I live, have a variety of programs for first-time buyers. They define this as someone who has not owned his or her personal residence for at least three years. The California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) provides financing to cover not only down payment, but also closing costs, which can often be greater than the down payment itself. CalHFA requires a FICO score of at least 640.Anyone whose credit doesn’t measure up to the guidelines of the loan they want can raise their score quickly in many cases. To do this, they’d take the following steps:Get a copy of your credit report to see where you are. There are lots of places to do this at no cost. I have heard good things about Credit KarmaResolve any liens and judgments as quickly as possible. Since these are typically matters of public record, be sure to get and record the “Release of Lien” documentResolve any accounts that are presently delinquent. This will not only help the score, but will avoid the inevitable stream of late chargesContact any collection companies that show up on your report. This is the hardest part for many people. Be aware that you can negotiate a settlement figure on the account they are trying to collect. Do NOT agree to a payment or send money without having a written agreement for an amount to settle the account in full. Do NOT agree to a “check-by-phone” payment. This will give them access to your bank account. There are plenty of other ways to pay them once you have a written agreement from them to settleOnce you have begun the process of resolving the items that apply to you, find a local mortgage loan originator with whom you feel comfortable. Be up-front with them about your situation and what you want to accomplish. Many good loan officers—typically those who work for smaller companies, not big banks—are delighted to “nurture” prospective clients who are trying to get on a path to home ownership. As a rule, loan officers working for big banks or those who work for “call center” mortgage companies like Quicken or DiTech, are unlikely to be equipped to help you.I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
