Click on this video created for the readers of the Main Street blog because I need you to care about preserving and restoring this little jewels. They are the answer to a lot of our housing needs. This American architecture, saved and purposeful again can add to Rocky Mount’s reputation for preservation. The housing becomes a destination to tour these significant structures while visiting. Become an owner, restore your little gem and I guarantee they will stimulate economic growth for Rocky Mount and make us proud!

FHA has something called a 203k loan that allows you to finance improvements when you buy a home needing a lot of improvements. Perfect for the shotgun homes. I just love them.
Disclaimer: I am not in the mortgage or loan or building business. I found it looking for an older home to buy to live in (not flip) and wondering how to make it habitable.
