ATTENTION SANTA CLARITA VALLEY HOME BUYERS: Wonderful Stevenson Ranch Home Available for 100% Financing

Donne Knudsen CalState Realty Services: Loan Officer in Simi Valley, CA


Right now, there are dozens of properties in the Santa Clarita Valley that are eligible for 100% financing through the USDA Guaranteed Rural loan program. Many of these properties are not run-down, dilapidated, dumpy REO's or short sales but rather move-in ready, equity sales with really motivated sellers.

Set in the foothills of the Santa Susana mountains in Santa Clarita Valley, lies the little community of Stevenson Ranch. Often referred to as part of the city of Santa Clarita, Stevenson Ranch is actually not within the the Santa Clarita city limits but is instead an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County.

One of the best things about Stevenson Ranch is that it is eligible for 100% financing through the USDA Guaranteed Rural Home Loan program however it rarely has very many properties that come up.

The USDA Rural Guaranteed program extends 100% financing opportunities to help low-medium income residents purchase homes with no down payment required and no monthly mortgage insurance (MI).

This program is only available in designated USDA eligible areas, like Stevenson Ranch. There are also income limit guidelines that applicants must qualify for to be eligible to apply. These income limits are based on 115% of the median income for that county as well as family size.


This lovely 3bd/3ba home has more than 1,800 sq. ft. of living space on a nearly 9,000 sq. ft. lot. This incredible two-story home has an upgraded kitchen and baths with new counters and cabinets and flooring.

One of the best features of this wonderful home are the views of the from the back yard.

Comparable rents in this neighborhood for similar properties runs from $2,600-$2,800 a month. For less than $2,300 (PIT-no MI for USDA) a month, you could own this incredible home.


Today's real estate market can be really scary, which is why it's important to get as much information as possible before starting your search. Finding out more about affordable home loan options and getting pre-approved is an absolute must.

The pre-approval process is not a simple process and it's because it can get really complicated and convoluted that borrowers today need affordable loan options that are best suited for their own needs.

That's what I'm here for and I would love to be able to assist you in your search for an affordable home loan here in Santa Clarita Valley. Applications for this program can only be submitted by approved lenders; for more information on the USDA Rural program guidelines and eligibility, please feel free to contact me, Donne Knudsen at donne4loans@earthlink.net or at 805.2069123.
