If you are looking to buy a home in California you may still be able to collect the $8,000 federal tax credit. If you were deployed out of your living area for a period of 90 days from 4/31/2009 to 4/31/2010, and you close on a home by 4/31/2011, you may very well be able to still collect the $8,000 tax credit. This is ONLY available to military members. And if you are active military or veteran, you can use your VA eligibility to get a VA loan with 100% financing with very low 30 year fixed rate mortgage.
So qualifying for this tax credit is something to look into if you are eligible. Getting a check for $8,000 from the IRS after closing on a new house can be very helpful with post closing home furnishing, fixing up the house or keeping in the bank as reserves.
So give us a call if you are interested in applying for a VA home loan. Below are some of the very latest and up-to-date highlights of VA financing in California:
- VA loans are 10o% financing. This is the only 100% financing loan available to buy anywhere you want in California.
- VA loan limits can be very generous across the state of California. Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and San Francisco Counties allow all the way up to $962,500 with 100% VA financing.
