Juan Carlos Perez Jr. answered:
You are actually in a bad spot because you meet the typical requirements for an excellent loan, but the markets are just not helping people in your situation. Unfortunately you have very limited options, of which include either a CalHFA (which does have slightly higher rates), a conventional with lender paid MI (which requires at least 5% down), and an FHA (which requires a 3% down, but the PMI is the lowest in the market). Looking at your options, FHA will be the best bet for you. If you do not have the down payment, then I recommend start taking actions in your personal finances to save up for that cost. Once you are a homeowner you will begin to incur costs that far exceed the costs you may have now. Obtaining a down payment is the lenders way of making sure you are a responsible person that is able to afford a home and the costs associated with it.
