Help for first-time home buyers

VICTORVILLE • The city is helping prequalify first-time home buyers during a workshop Wednesday.

Lenders and Realtors will be available to get attendees prequalified and provide information on available homes. Home buyer educators will also be at the event.

To qualify for a home loan, a purchaser must be a first-time home buyer with no bankruptcy or foreclosure in the last three years. A first-time home buyer is defined as someone who hasn’t had an ownership interest in a home within the last three years. The home also must be the primary residence for the potential buyer and be within Victorville city limits to qualify.

Attendees should bring:

• A driver’s license or identification card;

• A social security number;

• Their last three paystubs;

• Their last three months of bank statements; and

• The last three years of tax returns.

• A credit report is also suggested, but not required.

Interested home buyers can come to the workshop anytime between 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday in conference room “D” at City Hall, 14343 Civic Drive.
