June is National Homeownership Month
The month of June celebrates the benefits of homeownership, and for first time buyers or if you would like some advice on your financial situation HUD has approved counselling companies that can help you. There are 30% less foreclosures of buyers that have gone through the counselling – there is a link to HUD’s website of approved agencies throughout Florida.
