Renting to Buying Tools Help Take You From

New tools to help potential homebuyers find programs that could potentially save them thousands of dollars.  Why rent if you can buy?  I have a client who has rented for the last 6 years paying $1400 per month that amounts to $100,800.00.  Why not put that money into your own home.  There are some great government programs out there available for first time buyers (in some cases the definition of a first time buyer is someone who has not owned a home in the past 3 years) that help with down payment assistance programs.  Here is a web-sit that can help you find those programs in your area   http://www.calhfa.ca.gov/homebuyer/programs/calplus.htm   go to Loans and then to CalPlusFHA Program
