First time home buyer in California? Get your most common questions answered here.
In this episode, Mina Yasuda, a mortgage advisor for JMAC Lending returns and we discuss some of the most common questions we both get from first time home buyers. If you are thinking of looking for your first home, this is a good place to start. Some of the questions we discuss are: 1. What is a buyer’s agent and why should I use one? 2. Do I need a 20% downpayment to purchase a home? 3. Can I get my deposit back if I cancel escrow? 4. How much should I have on top of the downpayment for closing costs? 5. What are a few strategies I can use to get my offer accepted if it’s not the highest offer? 6. When can I lock in my interest rate?
