Carlos and Erica Collazo moved their family from Puerto Rico to Texas in July of 2021. They moved in with family, but Carlos and Erica knew they needed a place of their own. Being first-time home buyers in a new country gave them some anxiety about buying their first home. The couple spent a few months building credit and saving for a down payment. As they began to shop for homes, they found that the older homes all needed work. Not wanting to deal with repairs, Carlos and Erica were relieved to discover that they could buy a new Betenbough home with a two-year comprehensive warranty for about the same price! They loved being able to tour a model home and personalize their new home. This family is enjoying freedom from the restrictions of renting, and they are thriving in their very own home!
