Testimonials

Real People. Real Results.

At the OWNiT Summit, we don’t just talk about homeownership—we help people make it happen. Here’s how three attendees turned their dreams into reality, proving that no matter where you’re starting from, the right strategy changes everything.

Sam

First-Time Buyer at 60

"I thought I missed my chance—turns out, I was just getting started."

At 60 years old, Sam assumed homeownership was out of reach. He had savings but was able to use grants instead of his own money, drastically reducing his costs.

💡What He Learned
There’s financial assistance available that most people don’t even realize exists.

"I always thought I’d have to drain my savings to buy a home, but instead, I got the help I needed and kept my financial security. If you think you’ve missed your chance, you haven’t—there are options out there, and the OWNiT Summit helped me find them."

Aaron

Overcame Credit Challenges & No Savings

"I went from living in my parents' basement with my wife and child to owning a home—and it started with the right plan."

With bad credit and zero savings, Aaron felt stuck. The idea of homeownership seemed impossible. But by taking small, strategic steps, he rebuilt his credit, accessed financial assistance, and finally purchased his first home.

💡 What He Learned
The biggest obstacle isn’t always money—it’s not knowing the right moves to make.

"I almost gave up so many times, but I realized I didn’t need to have it all figured out—I just needed to start. If you feel stuck, don’t count yourself out. There are ways forward, and the OWNiT Summit connects you to them."

Deanna

Bought at 24 & Used Home Equity to Invest

"I bought my first home in my 20s, and now I’m using it to build wealth."

Right out of college, Deanna used a 203K loan to buy and renovate her first home, turning it into her dream space. A few years later, she tapped into her home’s equity to purchase an investment property, setting herself up for long-term financial freedom.

💡 What She Learned
Homeownership isn’t just about having a place to live—it’s a powerful wealth-building tool.

"People my age assume they have to wait until they ‘make more money’ or ‘get rid of student loans’ before buying a home. But the truth is, there are ways to make it happen now. The earlier you start, the more opportunities you create for your future."
