Participantsmart. also purchase money in ca is non recourse, which means if prices go way down you could give the house back to the bank and they couldn’t come after you (not that, as a mortgage broker, i am recommending or would ever recommend that to any prospective buyer), but with little or no $ down you would have very little risk, of course your credit would be ruined for awhile…
you can do 100% financing if you are a vet, or if the property is located in certain areas, 100% with usda rural, otherwise fha with 3.5% down is your best bet right now.
just make sure you don’t overpay for the house; your monthly payment with 97 – 100% financing, after the write off, should be close to what the property would rent for…

There’s the rub. Depending on where you want to live there is little to no chance at all that you will finance 97% of the home and your payment will match the rent. If you are going to set that as a parameter then you more then likely will be waiting a long long time at best.

ParticipantThanks for all your replies.
We are likely to buy in Rancho Bernardo – 4S Ranch.
SD Realtor – I like your suggestion of plotting this out. I will do so and if possible post the results.
Finally, although I know CA is non-recourse, I could not, in good cconscience, walk away from the home when I have the means to continue making payments. For me, that is what is wrong with our country right now, everyone is a victim and wants something for nothing.
