Hello everyone,
Hello everyone,
I am really interested in buying a house soon (or a condo if I can’t afford a house). I am not married, I have no dependents, I currently have a 690 FICO score, no debts, first time buyer, and I make 36,000 a year. Also, I don’t have any cash for a down payment.
What kind of loans are available to me? What is the max I can spend? Any suggestions/tips would be greatly appreciated!
Also, I live in Central California if that helps!
