Congrats @WellsFargo on a fantastic 2017! A big thank you for your dedication to our #affordablehousing business. Without you, we would not be able to help as many families live in safe, healthy rental housing. You have been a remarkable partner over the years. #LoanWeAllOwn

@NAACP A11-3 If your first home isn’t your dream home, paying your mortgage and other expenses on time and in full will strengthen your credit rating and builds wealth. Managing your finances responsibly helps to increase your financial strength and future options. #CollegeSense

@NAACP A11-2 When you’re ready to buy your first home, attend a local homebuyer workshop, do your research and talk to friends, family and a trusted advisor about your options. #CollegeSense

[Cerita Battles @CBattlesWFC]

@NAACP A10 As a college student, you may be worried about having enough money for a down payment. There are down payment assistance programs available that can help. @Neighborworks #NeighborhoodLIFT program is a great example: #CollegeSense

@MarriSymone @NAACP Preparation is key. Know what you're looking for and connect with a housing counseling agency and/or loan officer to know what's required. When we know better we prepare better. #CollegeSense

[Cerita Battles @CBattlesWFC]

@Raheem_Martin @HU_NAACP Education is KEY! #CollegeSense

[Cerita Battles @CBattlesWFC]

@NAACP A9 There are apps and online technology that streamline and simplify the mortgage application process. Advanced technology allows homebuyers to get pre-approved and navigate the process when and where they want – including from the comfort of their own home. #CollegeSense

@NAACP A8-2 Establishing a bill paying schedule is a good way to combat these challenges. Comparing and scheduling due dates of monthly bills can help you plan your budget. Also consider developing a separate maintenance and repair fund for your home. #CollegeSense

[Cerita Battles @CBattlesWFC]

@NAACP A8 Homeownership is a big financial responsibility and you may face some challenges. That’s why it is good to budget for unexpected expenses like repairs and maintenance, homeowners insurance, and property taxes. #CollegeSense

@NAACP PQ3-4 Here is an infographic with four common myths debunked: #CollegeSense

@NAACP PQ3-3 “I need to make more money to qualify for a mortgage.” Well, income is an important factor but it doesn’t have to be high. The key is demonstrating your ability to repay the loan. #CollegeSense
