It Started With a Flier

2021-03-16T17:00:34-04:00

Pauline Tiako, a former resident of New Carrolton (a few minutes from DC) was in search of a place she could call home. Wanting to get away from the busy streets and cold neighbors, she explored areas that were safe and convenient for her family.   During her search, she received a flier for Dundalk Renaissance Corporation’s September 2014 Dundalk Housing Fair and Neighborhood Tours. Pauline attended the housing fair and gathered information she felt was useful but had reservations about qualifying for a mortgage. Tyler Banks, a vendor at the fair and CEO of Charm City Builders, had some encouraging words, “You’d be surprised.

Why buying a home shouldn’t be your only financial goal

2020-03-04T13:34:10-04:00

You found your lender, your realtor, and your home.  You made it through home inspections and closing.  Now you’re officially a homeowner! When the excitement of purchasing your first home wears off you might start to notice some things.  A need for furniture in this room, a repair in that room, a fresh coat of paint in the bathroom.  The bills start to add up. Budgeting for expenses after you’ve moved into your home is not just a great idea, it’s necessary.  Home repairs can really add up and take a chunk out of your savings or worse plummet your credit [...]
