~FHA & VA Loans~

If saving enough for a 20% down payment will delay your home buying dream for years, you should consider your alternate options:
An FHA Loan
The Federal Housing Administration, or FHA, insures loans for qualified first-time homebuyers. With FHA backing, lenders can offer you a loan at a low interest rate with as little as 3.5% down.

Poem:~Power Full Walk~

I heard a sound like a mighty wind.

Breeze flowing through my hair. 

I stop because I though some was behind me. 

I purposely cried in the wind as the force took over me.

I knew the day when something will come over me. 

Oh, how I prayed that I can control me. 

My lips moved so fast I didn’t know what’s gotten into me. 

What can I say? The though overthrows me. 

A powerful walk with Christ is what is in me.

~ My Take on Hidden Figures ~

For this movie, all case play a very important role. There, to me, is no leading actor or actress...
