Home prices leave many hopeless Wednesday, June 09, 2021
To the Editor:
I am 60 years old, legally blind and homeless for 11 months now in Haywood County. I am not a drug addict nor someone with a criminal record.
I have lived here for many years and love it. I sold my home last year, put my money in the bank and started looking for a smaller house for me and my dog. My search was looking positive until I applied for a loan and was denied due to my monthly income of social security. No matter that I have an awesome credit score, one small loan for my used car and down payment bucks waiting to be used. Obviously with mortgage rates so low my buying versus renting would be ideal and I know how to live within my means.
