Sacramento has more than its share of foreclosures.  A buyer looking for a Fannie Mae foreclosure with an excellent financing option would be well served to begin their search with a HomePath property and special HomePath Financing.

Sacramento Realtors signed up with Fannie Mae HomePath to list these properties in their local market are a great source for opportunities. Buyers can search for a foreclosure on-line at www.HomePath.com and find some very well priced Sacramento area homes with low down payment financing options.  Also, first time home buyers in California purchasing a Fannie Mae-owned home may be eligible for up to $10,000 in tax credit from the State of California.

Special HomePath Financing includes several benefits:

In addition to special HomePath Financing, Fannie Mae offers a HomePath Renovation Loan for some of its foreclosures.  The HomePath Renovation Loan allows buyers to purchase foreclosures and incorporate some repairs or upgrades into the mortgage financing.  The ability to build-in improvements into the mortgage without a large out-of-pocket expense makes the Fannie Mae HomePath Renovation Loan an excellent choice for buyers on a budget.

HomePath Renovation Loan benefits and restrictions:

HomePath properties and financing programs offer a unique opportunity for buyers and investors to purchase a home with as little as 3% down. Most of these properties are instant cash flow for investors and close faster then traditional mortgages. First time home buyers, why pay mortgage insurance because you don’t want to put 20% down on a home? FHA just increased their Mortgage insurance premium to 2.50%. This is a cost paid upfront when taking out an FHA loan without putting 20% down. With Homepath Financing there is no mortgage insurance ever!!!!  Real Estate buyers can find an exceptional value and opportunity to purchase foreclosures with the ability to upgrade their homes on a tight budget.
