I rented a home for six years, and one day my landlord informed me that she was going to sell it. So, I started looking for a new home with the option to buy. However, it was not an easy process. However, I am grateful for the experience as it taught me a lot about my spending habits and what it takes to become a homeowner. I had a great experience with the NACA program. My counselor helped me to learn how to budget, save, and manage my monthly bills more effectively. Before working with NACA, I wasn't always responsible for paying my bills, but the program "compelled" me to be more intentional about saving and budgeting. And for that, I am grateful. I'm excited about what this process means for my future. I started the process in November 2022 and I am now on the last leg of my journey. I am due to close my new home in May 2024. I'm writing this review to share my positive experience with NACA and encourage others to join the program to buy their own home.
