I asked Gina Poslusny a pretty simple question.
“How can somebody get into a house with very little money down?”
Her answer led to one of my favorite stories from our conversation.
She had two clients who worked at ShopRite.
They received $10,000 in homebuyer assistance.
When it was time to close, they brought less than $2,000 to the table.
Gina made a point that stuck with me.
That was less than what many people pay for a security deposit and first month’s rent.
Now, that does not mean everybody can buy a house with less than $2,000.
You still have to qualify.
Income matters.
Credit matters.
The program matters.
But how many people have already decided homeownership is impossible before they ever ask what may be available to them?
Watch the clip.
Then listen to the full conversation with Gina Poslusny on Troy Talks Money.
What surprised you most about her story?
