Yolanda, you are amazing! I'm in the process of looking for my first home. I lived in Charlotte (apartment living and I hated it too) then moved away for a year or so to tackle some debt and now I'm debt free with a high credit score, so I'm ready to move back. A friend also sent me information on the NC 1st Home Advantage Down Payment, which is exciting, and I also prefer new construction. Currently, I'm working on my savings like you mentioned so I will be ready when the time comes. And I will be consuming your videos. This was so unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much!

The more paperwork and the faster you respond to them when the need a document even if they ask again, just do it asap. They are overloaded with people, it’s a nonprofit as well . Once you get approved they are paying a lot for people. Big deal if you have to send a document again or whatever. It’s worth it. People need to be patient and make sure they have all their ducks in a row. I would say have everything uploaded and ready before even approaching the program so you can go through the program the fastest. The more prepared you are, the faster the process is. Look up other KZbin videos on what they required first

I agree with you Winston Salem is boring I was born and raised here but entertainment wise we don't have that anymore cause I think it's because of the crime rate here. A lot of times these young people or teens from neighborhoods there are tearing down to make room for new housing or apartments. Sometimes it makes things bad for others to take Hanes Mall for instance you can't go shopping any more without someone bringing a gun just to fight somebody. And that kind of ruining things for everybody exciting stuff that we use to have like the street scene or alive after five we can't have that anymore without somebody acting stupid. And to me that's my con all these young kids hanging out no programs to help these young people from getting into trouble nothing to keep them level headed.

This has been my experience overall with Winston-Salem. It has what you need with some extras, but not much beyond the essentials. Overall I like it, but, if you want a city of fireworks, move to the Raleigh-Durham area or Charlotte. Many people from here appear to view this place like people from small towns view their communities, not a city.

Your experience in the lack of networking events with a diverse audience is spot on. We used to have the Venture Caffe at the old Baily power plant but it was killed by the C word. I don’t know if there’s any other meet and greet like that but I wish there was. WS is a very divided city for many reasons, mostly the Highway that divides it. The people are great, hard working and friendly. Unfortunately the division that We experience has a lot to do with the people guiding the city that care more for the lame downtown than the other wards. It’s an ‘old boy’ kinda thing and most people from the South, Southeast and North don’t venture downtown. It’s expensive, not too hip and kinda unreal. There are a lot of empty store fronts. You may want to recommend to your viewers that it may be a good place to invest in a business, bring ingredients, ideas, to breath some life in to the downtown and around the other wards. I am from the little city of Hudson NY where the influx of NYC business, a lot of Antique stores revivified that city. Big houses may be nice but you may want to look at the older homes on streets that kids can still play on and getting people to move in to these neighborhoods which have a charm you won’t find in the old Mc Mansion. Just a thought from a guy on Peachtree. You are more likely to see our diversity and unity at the gas station where everyone holds the door open for the next customer. Thanks for not mentioning the crime. Peace
