The American Dream

The American Dream - Home Ownership

& FREE Money Would Be Nice Too!

Attention Renters: You can, and need to, pursue the dream! Each month as you write a check for rent you are paying down the principle balance of a mortgage . . . it just isn't your mortgage being paid down, it is not your tax deduction you are contributing too, it is not your asset you are building . . . it's someone elses.

Yep - home values have tumbled. (opportunity to buy low)
Yep - Lending has tightened up. (Right back to where it was 4 years ago - normal & accessible)
Yep - Some money is needed. (Remember - its an investment, there is no FREE lunch - down payements vary by program. There are still zero down options available too, grants, etc.)

Where to start:

Many people are not daring to dream today simply because they don't know where to start. The good news is We Can Help!

Such notice of transferred interest shall be deemed a request to cancel an existing business license for such rental dwelling unit and shall include the name, address, and information regarding the person(s) succeeding to the ownership or control thereof. The new owner shall obtain a business license as required by this chapter.
