So some of you know that i was in the market for a house and someone was interested in my white hatch. So after taking the cash offer for car i jumped on looking for a house. Well after looking at about 12 overpriced POS houses in sacramento i finally landed on a fully redone 4 bdrm 2 bth house in north sac near natomas. Well im proud to say its official and in about 3 weeks from now ill be getting the keys to my new pad. Feels great to go from a fox stang to a beautiful house. I do miss that clean thing but this was oh so better.

Its not official til you get the keys. Don't run credit, don't buy anything new, don't run up you credit cards. Make sure you get house inspections done and do whatever your loan officer tells you. And stay on top of your loan officer to make sure you know when the appraisal is done and the loan is approved.
3 weeks away is far from a done deal, but you're almost there. Good job

inspections, appraisal, actual loan approval/underwriting, Long way to go BUT congrats on getting an offer accepted. When I bought my first house 4 years ago there were 15-20 offers on almost any house I placed an offer on...Seems lately its becoming much easier.

Congrats first of all! buying a home is awesome things.
Everything that 13.50 said basically hit the nail on the head.
-Make sure to get a home inspection even if you think you don't need one (believe me you do!) If you need a contact I can refer you to the top 3 inspectors that we normally use for our clients.
-Do not keep your loan officer waiting for any documents needed. It will only hurt you in the long run. So make sure you have all info.

Be careful in the natomas area. They have laws there regarding being in a flood plain. In certain areas around there if your house is ruined by fire/flood you wont be able to rebuild your home.
This is due to FEMA laws.
Federal law won’t allow any property there to be rebuilt if the cost of repairs is more than 50 percent of the home’s value if you are in a flood plain.

To add to the above, make sure you find out if the house is located in a Flood Zone A or B. Flood insurance is NOT cheap and can add quite a bit to your monthly payment. If the house is in a required flood zone and you have a mortgage you will be required to carry flood for the life of the loan.
Congrats on your purchase!

My buddy lives in Natomas area. Not long ago on the news some guy stole a car and the cops shot the guy. He ended up dying a few houses from where my buddy lives. The next weekend he said people had a candle light vigil for the car jacker and had a side show.

I just finished purchasing my second home. This one was a short sale but the transaction went faster than my traditional sale house 5 years ago. They have certainly figured out how to go through the process.
Good luck with your purchase.

Congrats but you have a lot that can still change or ultimately fall through.
You NEED a home and pest inspection. I can refer to the company I used last time. Very detailed PDF report
with photos and explanations of their findings and recommendations.
And buy a home warranty.
