Taft is a city located in Kern County, California. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 6,400. Taft is situated in a major petroleum and natural gas mining region in California. A large system of oil pipes and refineries surround the town. During the early 1900s, commercial oil exploration was being pursued around Taft. Some surface-level asphalt pools were discovered in the area. Wells were drilled. Pipelines and railroad tracks were built. The state's most productive oil field, the Midway-Sunset Oil Field in Fellows, is just north of here. The historic Lakeview Gusher was brought in along SR33 north of town. Taft was the site of a military airfield named Gardner Field which was used to train pilots during World War II. Today, the railroad is gone but the area has a significant oil industry presence. Workers at the Midway-Sunset Oil Field in Fellows commute from here. The U.S. Bureau of Prisons operates a prison on Cadet Road south of town. There is a large, modern high school serving area students. The West Kern Oil Museum, at 1168 Wood Street, has vast holdings including pumps, fire apparatus, trucks, a historic wooden derrick, photos, models, and extensive displays of local history back to Indian times. The town's daily newspaper, the Midway Driller, is reputed to be the oldest daily newspaper in California. Taft-Kern County Airport (FAA identifier: L17) is located at the east edge of town at FAA-provided coordinates 35°08'27?N, 119°26'28?W. The community was named after President William Howard Taft.

Taft Fixed Rate Mortgages

This is the most common type of mortgage program. Your monthly payments for interest and principal never change. Property taxes and homeowners insurance may increase, but generally your monthly payments will be very stable.

Taft Adjustable Rate Mortgages

These loans generally begin with an interest rate that is 2-3 percent below a comparable fixed rate mortgage, and could allow you to buy a more expensive home. However, the interest rate changes at specified intervals (for example, every year) depending on changing market conditions; if interest rates go up, your monthly mortgage payment will go up, too. However, if rates go down, your mortgage payment will drop also.

Taft Reverse Mortgage

A reverse mortgage is a special type of loan made to older homeowners to enable them to convert the equity in their home to cash to finance living expenses, home improvements, in-home health care, or other needs. With a reverse mortgage, the payment stream is "reversed." That is, payments are made by the lender to the borrower, rather than monthly repayments by the borrower to the lender, as occurs with a regular home purchase mortgage.
