Are you a female heads of households looking to buy a home in the Cleveland area? If you answered "yes" you will probably want to attend the 'Mortgages for Mothers' being held by Dollar Bank at the Cleveland State Wolstein Center. The event has been held for eight years and attracts 300 attendees. With the real estate slump and financial uncertainty ahead, it is probably best to talk to an expert before buying a new home.

"The combination of aggressive sub-prime lenders plus borrowers anxious to become homeowners may have led many into a bad loan that they couldn't afford," explained Larry Slenczka, Dollar Bank's Vice President of Community Development who is running this years event. "For the past eight years, Dollar Bank has been holding these free workshops to explain to potential borrowers the complexities of the mortgage process and to help them design a plan to buy a house within their means and to obtain a mortgage that they can afford."

"For more than a dozen years," Slenczka continued, "we have helped over 2000 would-be borrowers understand and resolve their credit problems so they can confidently buy a home."

The workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 5, 2008. For more information, call 1-800-345-DOLLAR.
