SUMMARY: As Madison County’s population grows, finding the right home financing can be challenging, especially amid high interest rates. Many buyers are exploring alternatives to traditional mortgages. About half of recent home purchases used conventional loans, while two-thirds opted for non-conventional loans like FHA and VA loans. VA loans, particularly appealing for veterans, offer benefits such as no down payment and lower interest rates. Although not every buyer qualifies, FHA loans provide options for those with lower credit scores. Understanding individual financial situations and available resources is crucial for prospective homebuyers. More information on mortgage options is available online.

The population in Huntsville and Madison County is growing by the day, and News 19 is helping you “find your space” in the Rocket City.

SUMMARY: In this edition of “Faith Time,” Taine Benson from Friendship Missionary Baptist Church discusses the concept of a big God addressing significant problems. He compares God’s unseen influence to those working behind the scenes in a movie. Benson emphasizes that while people may see our achievements, it is God facilitating them. To participate in God’s solutions, he suggests starting with simple acts of kindness. Trusting God with big issues can be challenging due to a desire for control; however, true guidance comes through prayer and dependence on God. Ultimately, seeking God leads to a purposeful life.
