How is all this possible? Angela was able to buy and rehab her first home, a brick two-flat on the city's West Side, because of her own hard work and the support she received from ShoreBank. She came to ShoreBank because of its reputation for investing in people and helping them to structure their finances to reach their goals. Angela wanted to buy a home, but was a first time homebuyer and needed to put together an attractive proposal for a bank.

ShoreBank helped her structure her finances to become a better mortgage candidate and lent her the money to purchase and renovate her first home. Soon, she was the proud owner and landlord of the building. ShoreBank seminars gave her additional education about rehabbing and managing her new property.

One year later Angela continues to build her wealth and her future. She sold her first two-flat and bought both a four-bedroom house and the lot next door. ShoreBank's loan, financial advice and technical assistance helped Angela discover a passion for real estate investing.
