IS HOMEOWNERSHIP RIGHT FOR MY FAMILY?

Being a homeowner gives you the opportunity to put down roots, become part of a community, and build future wealth. Do you dream of owning your own home but wonder if you are ready? The journey to homeownership can be rewarding, but also challenging. For some aspiring homeowners in underserved communities, the process may be even harder to navigate.

Often, residents in these communities may be less likely to possess generational wealth to place a down payment, or may not have a family history of homeownership. Many are unfamiliar with the homebuying process and are unsure where to turn to receive the necessary help to get through the process.

Homeownership can help put your family on a strong financial footing for generations to come, as long as you are smart about it. Before embarking on the homebuying process, make sure you have the time and money to invest in your home.
