Rocket Mortgage® is honored to partner with Stacey Tisdale and the Wealth Wednesdays team to help those in the black community achieve their financial goals and dreams of homeownership. The Wealth Wednesdays series explores the political and societal forces that have historically kept those in the black community from seeing their light and how, despite these challenges, they can build wealth and achieve their life goals both today and in the future. 

In addition to the great resources provided by this Breakfast Club series, we’ve put together a resource guide to help you succeed even more with your money, your credit and, when you’re ready, your home purchase.
