Owning a home isn\u2019t for everyone, but there are many Americans who could be homeowners with just a little bit of help. That\u2019s where Chenoa Fund steps in. This is the story of Theo*, who purchased his home late last year.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBC Mortgage Agency aka Chenoa Fund has been a life-changing experience, to say the least.\u00a0[M]y mortgage experience was extremely limited. I believed a lot of the home-buying myths and did not understand the importance of homeownership. The one thing I could remember is you need 20% to purchase a home. This kept me from purchasing a home. Home prices kept increasing and I couldn’t save fast enough to keep up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My journey began in 2018 and slowly I started to believe I could purchase a home. Towards the end of 2018, my wife and I made a goal to purchase a home. With some careful planning and big help from Chenoa Fund, we were able to secure the down payment\u00a0needed to purchase a home. In late 2019, my wife and I were able to purchase a home in Herriman, UT. This event was bigger than just purchasing a home. It was a mindset change. It took belief, dedication, and hard work. Now in everything we do, we think ownership before renting.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re grateful that Theo was able to break through the myths and find a way to achieve homeownership through Chenoa Fund. Now he and his family can reap the blessings of being homeowners!<\/span><\/p>\n
