Cudahy, California

Your local mortgage broker in Cudahy

Cudahy is one of the densest cities in the country, built on the narrow, deep 'Cudahy lots' left over from its farm days — small, close-together, hardworking. Home Central Financial, led by Miguel A. Vazquez, NMLS #401212, is a broker rather than a bank, so we shop many lenders to find a loan that fits attainable Cudahy prices, and we get ahead of the appraisal and condition questions those older lots can raise.

Common questions

Can I buy my first home here with a small down payment?

Often, yes. Cudahy prices stay attainable, so an FHA loan with as little as 3.5% down goes a long way, and some buyers qualify for down-payment assistance. We'll be straight about which program actually fits your budget.

I file taxes with an ITIN. Can you still help me buy?

Yes. ITIN lending is everyday work for us. We help borrowers who file on an ITIN instead of a Social Security number put together the strongest file we can, and we'll tell you exactly what documents you need. No promises on rate or approval until your file is reviewed.

The homes here are old and on unusual lots. Is that a problem?

Not if you plan ahead. Cudahy's narrow, deep lots and older homes can raise appraisal or condition questions, so we get in front of them early instead of letting them stall your closing.

What credit score do I need?

There's no single cutoff — programs differ, and FHA in particular is flexible. Let's look at where you actually stand; sometimes one small change makes a real difference. No promises on rate or approval until your file is reviewed.

Can we do everything in Spanish?

Yes. Every call, document, and explanation is available in English or Spanish, with the same person from the first call through signing.
