A local karate school holds
classes one day a week for these

compete in the June tournament
which will be held in Anderson
South Carolina, but if not by July

The students will compete
under the direction of a local karate

their task.

There's always a catch.
Either you can't pull together enough
for a down payment, or your income
is too low to qualify for a mortgage.
Not to worry. If your income is
less than $25,000, you may qualify
for our Home Ownership Program,
which makes you eligible for every
thing from lower interest rates to
95% financing to lower closing costs.
But vou linever know unless you
apply. Its one small step that could
turn into one giant leap toward
home ownership.
