From Newlyweds to Homeowners: Josh & Vanessa’s Journey

In December 2023, Josh and Vanessa began their life together with a shared goal—owning a home. By living frugally and applying financial lessons from workshops, they saved diligently for a 10% down payment.

Their breakthrough came when Josh connected with Vanessa Montañez from City National Bank, who introduced them to the "Ladder Up" program. This led to a $20,000 grant, helping them cover closing costs and secure a lower interest rate.

In less than a month, they became homeowners in Orange County—proof that financial education and the right resources can make dreams a reality. At Avance Latino, we believe in empowering families to achieve homeownership, just like Josh and Vanessa did!
