“Affordable housing is extremely difficult, especially for first-time homebuyers,” said Renew Ardmore partner Reece Riggle. the opportunity to purchase an affordable house. ”

They are almost halfway done with renovations on their first project.

“This one is not that bad, but it has been condemned for two years, and the next thing you know, they will be tearing them down,” Burroughs said. “Why not bring it back up and give it a little love and let a family have it. ”

Once renovations are finished on the 2nd St. Southeast house, they plan to start work on several other properties.
