HOUSTON (KIAH) — Have you ever wanted to home a home? Have you ever wanted to have an income producing duplex? From now until Aug. 22, you will get a chance, and it’s all for free!
JB Thibodeaux, a Houston-based developer, is launching the first-ever Duplex Giveaway and awarding a newly constructed, income-producing duplex to a local first-time buyer, free of charge. The initiative is called “First Home, First Investment”. It pairs this once-in-a-lifetime property opportunity with a six-week educational training series covering financial literacy, real estate strategy, and homeownership preparation.
With housing costs on the rise, and many first-time home buyers concerned they can’t afford to purchase a home, this could be a game changer. CW39 sat down with James and Tiffany Thibodeaux, from JB Thibodeaux homes. They’re giving away a brand-new duplex to a first-time buyer as part of a new initiative to really help families build wealth through ownership, not just rent.
According to James Thibodeaux, “Well, listen, you can’t be God’s given, and this is part of that. We’re on the front lines in this real estate initiative, and we know that there are people that are still stuck on the sideline, either plagued by fear, by misinformation, education. And with this initiative, will be combating all of that with this giveaway. And so that’s why we know that we had this opportunity, and we had to do it. So it’s just another opportunity to give back.”
You will have from July 15 to August 22 to apply for the give-a-way. There are certain requirements that will be expected too. Tiffany Thibodeaux says, there is “going to be an application process so everyone can apply, but you will need to be mortgage ready.”…
