Amy Bouse has been a teacher for the past 8 years at Santa Monica High School. As she researched various homeownership assistance programs for teachers on the Internet, she stumbled upon the Los Angeles Teachers Mortgage Assistance Program (LATMAP).
Ms. Bouse decided to attend CFRC’s 8-hour homebuyer’s seminar on a Saturday, where she learned about various loan programs available to her and about the pre-approval process. "This was my second and much better homebuyer’s seminar…I learned about expectations for real estate agents and a great rebate program for teachers," said Ms. Bouse. 
Through LATMAP she also met two program partners: Joseph Guzman from National City Mortgage, and Iris Land from Prudential CA Realty. The partners helped Ms. Bouse through every step of the homeownership process, including qualifying her for a loan and helping her find a home.
Ms. Bouse recently closed on her purchase, a 2 bedroom condominium located in Southwest Los Angeles. The home has great amenities and charm, including hardwood floors, and built in cabinets. But her favorite place is the terrific backyard that offers the privacy, serenity, peace and escape that she longs for at the end of her day.
