There is a lot being tossed around in the real estate industry about down payment assistance: "Is there some or isn't there?' is the question most often voiced. I just ran across a good site for every first time home buyer (remember this only means you haven't owned a home or been on title for 36 months): http://www.californiadownpaymentassistanceprograms.com/finding_down_payment_assistance_programs/

Please take a moment to check this out when you're ready to jump back into the market or to buy your first property. It'll be my pleasure to give you guidance and support in the process when you are ready.
