The Historical State Women’s Chamber was established May 8, 2002 by June L Beland, who is the owner of ABC Publishing© since 1982. She was introduced to the idea of starting a Women’s State chamber for Nevada by the U.S. Chamber, where she had been a member for over 40 years. What most people do not know is that June Beland invested her own money to maintain the chamber for the first five years until the membership gave the Chamber financial stability and with the help of her own company ABC Publishing©. She used her publishing company to promote the History of our Women’s Bi-Monthly Chamber Business Journal© to help market the members and give them a platform in the media in Las Vegas and Nevada (About local and state news, chamber membership-relocation & visitors’ section).
June L. Beland

Conventional Loans Have you heard of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac? These are the companies that provide conventional home loans. If your credit score is in good shape, you’ll only need to put 3% down on your new home FHA Loans Are you a first-time homebuyer? Then, an FHA loan might be a good option for you. Generally, you could put as little as 3.5% down. VA Loans If you’re a veteran or currently active military, your service is appreciated. Getting a VA loan doesn’t require a down payment. USDA Loans USDA Loans are backed by The US Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Program. These loans are for rural and suburban homebuyers. Check with your lender for income and loan requirements if you feel this is the right loan for you. That’s just a brief idea of the loans that allow you to save a little cash upfront. Of course, a mortgage professional will help you find the best option for you. I work with incredible lenders that can help. If you’re ready, give me a call, text, or reply to this email. I’d be happy to help you with your move.
