Buying, Selling, and Renting After Divorce: A Guide for Christian Women

In Season 3, Episode 8 of the Divorced Christian Woman Podcast, Natalie and Diana sit down with Diane Wallenta, a certified divorce lending specialist with 25 years in the mortgage industry.

You’ll learn the truth about age limits, what lenders actually look at when you’re divorced, how to rebuild your credit after divorce, and why your gut instinct about your budget matters more than what you “qualify” for. Diane breaks down the numbers without the intimidation and gives you the roadmap for making the housing decision that’s right for your unique situation.
