This blog is a resource for first-time home buyers in SoCal. It's unique because it's administered by a well-established non profit organization based in Los Angeles. We decided to offer this blog as an extension of our first-time home buyer program and Los Angeles Teachers Mortgage Assistance Program. If there could be way to rate a blog's "coolness" on ActiveRain, we'd probably make top 5 easy.
