Rich Black Woman | Engaging, Empowering, and Elevating Black Women for Success

This season we explore the profound question posited by the No. 1 Viral Car Salesman Social Media Star, Mr. Durrell Smylie -- Where The Money $$$ Reside?...in this episode we talk about the lesser known home ownership program by the USDA or the United States Department of Agriculture.  And no, you don't have to be a farmer and wear overalls to qualify for this 100% percent financed low-interest loan program that is available for 97% of the nation considered to be "rural."  But don't think you have to live all the way in the boon docks.  You might just be surprised to find out many suburbs are considered "rural."  Check out the website: https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services to explore these home ownership programs that require no money down, and 1 % interest backed by the mighty U.S. government.  Who knew, that this money resided in small town America.  We know the deal.
