Rancho Cordova is one of Sacramento County's most active first-time buyer markets and has strong investment property demand due to proximity to the Sacramento tech corridor. Anatolia, Sunridge, and Villages of Zinfandel have distinct price points and program fit. As your Rancho Cordova mortgage lender I structure FHA + CalHFA + SHRA stacks for first-time buyers and DSCR for investors.
Anatolia, newer master-planned east side with Mello-Roos considerations. Sunridge, mixed newer and established, mid-range pricing. Villages of Zinfandel, newer master-planned area.
