When Sarah left a long-term marriage, walking away with nothing more than her son’s belongings and some furniture, the idea of becoming a homeowner was barely even a thought. At one point, they didn’t even have a bed to sleep on. Homeownership felt impossible, with credit hurdles and no clear way forward, this was simply a pipe dream.
For years, Sarah thought this dream was out of reach. Determined to build a better life, Sarah began exploring her options, but nothing seemed realistic for her. “My biggest concern when I bought this house was the down payment. Most people don’t have that kind of money in their accounts, you know?”
Thanks to help from a down payment assistance program from loanDepot, Sarah had discovered a path to make her dream of homeownership a reality. Now, she and her son have a place of their own. “It is home, sweet home. In Sweet Home, OR!”
Here at loanDepot, we were honored to help Sarah write this chapter of her story, and we’d love to help you write yours too.
