Most people who are trying to achieve the American dream, they have a level of pride that's involved with how things turn out for them. And if they want to be homeowners, they're probably not thrilled to find out their credit score's not great. So there's going to be a barrier there caused by the pride. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It just means you have to figure out how to convey to people that you're not going to judge them because of whatever caused their credit score to be less than perfect, but that instead of judging, you're going to provide some assistance and some guidance and that you're not afraid of helping them figure out what the pathway looks like. And marketing is the best way to do that. Now, I don't mean postcards. I mean video marketing, reaching people with information. And it doesn't mean that you make a video that says, "Hey, I'd love to help." No, it means your video says, "Here's the top 3 things to help you improve your credit score. Here are some inside secrets on VA loans. Here are some of the down payment assistance grants available in our area." Put that information out there.
