Your Guide to Homeownership in the Antelope Valley
Palmdale Native. Bilingual. Investor. First-Time Buyer Specialist.
I grew up in these streets. I know what it means to watch your parents pay rent for decades and wonder if ownership is even possible. That frustration is exactly why I built De Tu Lado Casas — to be the guide I wished my family had. I specialize in CalHFA, Dream For All, and ITIN loan programs that most agents don't even know exist.
Serving Palmdale, Lancaster, Quartz Hill, Acton, Rosamond, Edwards AFB and surrounding communities. Fully bilingual — for your whole family.
Disclosure: Sal is finalizing his California real estate license. All transactions are handled by eXp Realty, DRE #01878277. Your deal is fully protected under a licensed broker.

The Myths That Keep Qualified Buyers Renting
Every month that passes costs you equity. These four beliefs are the only things standing between you and your first home — and every one of them is wrong.
"My credit score isn't high enough"
Programs start at 580. Most buyers are closer than they think. Sal runs a free eligibility check — in 15 minutes, you'll know exactly where you stand and what, if anything, needs to move.
"I don't have 20% saved for a down payment"
Down payment assistance covers up to $150,000. Many buyers close with $0 out of pocket by stacking FHA with CalHFA MyHome. The 20% myth is the single biggest reason qualified Antelope Valley families are still paying rent.
"I make too much money to qualify"
HHI up to $287K qualifies for some programs. If you earn $80K–$130K in the Antelope Valley, you are the target audience — not an exception. Your income doesn't disqualify you. It qualifies you.
"My family being involved will complicate the process"
Your family IS the process. Parents, partners, in-laws, siblings — everyone is welcome. This is how Sal works. He understands why your mom needs to approve the kitchen and why your dad wants to understand every document. That's not a complication. That's how good decisions get made.
You've already done the hard part. You have the job, the income, and the drive. You just needed someone to show you the programs. That's Sal's job.
Why Your Guide Is Qualified to Lead You Here
I grew up in Palmdale. I watched my family pay rent for decades, work hard, and never quite get to the finish line of homeownership. Not because they weren't qualified — but because nobody told them the path existed.
When I got into real estate and investing, what I found made me angry: programs like CalHFA, Dream For All, and ITIN mortgage pathways were sitting there, ready to help families exactly like mine — and nobody was explaining them clearly, in English or in Spanish, to the people who needed them most. I founded De Tu Lado Casas — By Your Side Homes — to fix that.
Since June 2022, I've been an active real estate investor through Mikhael Holdings Group LLC. I don't just know these programs from a textbook — I've lived the process and I know which lenders actually deliver.
I became a housing advisor not to sell houses. I became one to be the guide I wished my family had. My story is the reason I can guide yours.

They Had the Same Doubts You Have Right Now
I had been saving for years trying to hit 20%. Sal sat down with us, ran the numbers, and showed me CalHFA would cover the down payment entirely. We closed with almost nothing out of pocket. My parents cried when we handed them the keys to their grandchildren's home.
The G. Family
Palmdale, CA
We were making good money — both of us working — and I assumed we'd earned too much for any of these programs. Sal showed me the income limits go way higher than I thought. We qualified for assistance and bought in the neighborhood we actually wanted.
The V. Family
Lancaster, CA
In our family, you don't buy a house alone. My parents, my wife's parents — everyone had to be comfortable. Sal never made us feel like that was a problem. He took the time to walk through everything with all of us. That's why we trusted him.
