ACORN Renovation Financing Workshop set for Saturday
ACORN is sponsoring a Renovation Financing Workshop to provide financial information for a successful renovation. Topics include: Renovation Lending Programs, How to Qualify for a Mortgage, Tax Benefits, Energy Efficiency, and Market Equity. The free workshop will be held on Saturday, September 19, from 9AM-noon at St.John’s Church Parish Hall.
The session will also cover the ins and outs of loan programs, credit, cash required, cash sources, and more. Learn the benefits of renovation lending, buying a home in disrepair, and how to fix it up using unique loan programs.
This workshop is free and open to the public and no registration is required. Street parking is available. For more information, send an email to info@richmondneighborhoods.org or call David Herring at (804) 644-5040.
Will they teach me how to set up a tax deductible brothel in my neighborhood?
Hey, AQB: this stuff is important to people, especially in this day and age. Your dumb ass remarks are not much of a contribution to this site or the notice of an important tool for the community.
They could just be ignorant and confused. Perhaps it is time once again to remind folks that ACORN is not ACORN.
Good point.
Locally, ACORN is the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods and they do good works as an informational clearing house for people who want to save an old house and save money while they’re doing it.
Let’s keep these two organizations straight.
Hey Right On Broad…..Once again, you’re WRONG on Broad. Dumb ass remarks? Good job Kanye, thanks for your civilized input. But ya know what? After the last 5 days of ACORN corruption, with more to come, maybe it IS time to change their name. “This day and age”?? Puleeeze, hookers have been around since day one. Want them in your neighborhood?
Yes, unfortunate name similarity but THIS ACORN stands for the Alliance to Conserve Old Richmond Neighborhoods. Which is helping revitalize Richmond! Not the one embroiled in scandal right now. But I could see where the comment came from if the two were confused.
nice pic on their flyer.
I was thinking the same thing, but they are two different groups. The Alliance to Conserve should start using their full name and not an acronym.
Hey Christo…Jeanne-Claude is ugly, and I can’t believe you hung orange sheets in central park and convinced everyone that it was art.
and nice work thinking up “WRONG on Broad”–talk about a ZINGER! OUCH! That’ll teach Right On Broad to think twice before he/she ever posts here again! ROFL!
Wow. To Cristo: I am not going to use the phrase “dumb ass” again in this particular setting although you so richly deserve it. Instead, try to focus on this concept: ACORN in the national news and the ACORN that helps people renovate houses in Richmond are two, let me repeat that, TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Study this carefully: one is some kind of national organization that is in hot water with corruption. THE OTHER IS SOMETHING ELSE, a helpful Richmond group that is concerned only with old RIchmond neighborhoods. Got it? One national and corrupt, the other local and helpful. Not related. Not related at all. If your name was Jeffery, that would not make you Jeffery Dahlmer, would it? See?
Honestly, you would be pretty funny if your post wasn’t so pathetic. Maybe you can print this out and carry it around while you work on this astonishing situation of TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
Now that we have that straightened out, let’s return to the issue at hand. ACORN (remember? The Richmond organization?) is good people that have done good works in this town. People should attend their financing workshop and learn a lot. And yes, in this day and age this is important information.
