Fermin’s Story
Let me share with you a story about a friend of
ours. His name is Fermin and he grew up in
Launion, a small town in El Salvador. He came
here to America at the age of 18 (now 36) with
nothing and not speaking any English. Fermin
had dreams and a strong desire to succeed in our
great country.
Andy and I met him when he was looking for a
$10,000 invetment property. After his regular
job, Fermin did handy-man work and eventually
was able to pay cash. Fermin’s goal was to live in
it,rehab and rent the property. We found him the
right property. Even while working a full time
job, Fermin purchased his second property while
he was rehabing the first. We helped him to find
a tenant. Using the same formula He was able to
buy 5 proprties, two of them with his sister.
Along the way we became good friends and
have learned to appreciate Fermin’s work ethic,
the quality of his work, and getting things done
fast . In fact he was a big help with two Rehab
properties we did in Hampden and Canton. A
handsome $2,500 deck and refinishd floors –
shinned like a mirror-- added $14,000 to the
sales price of the one in Hampden. Then Fermin,
his girl friend, and his son painted an entire 3
bedroom house in Canton in a day—beautiful !
I guess you can tell we have a special affinity for
Fermin. Mainly because he is the epitome of a
hard working (legal) Immigrant. If you have been
getting The Nelson Team Letter for awhile you
know my parents migrated here from the Ukraine
and Germany. As you know I am so proud of their
story.
Fermin’s Journey To
America
El Salvador, a small country in Central America,
has a tropical climate, hot all year round along
the coast of the Pacific Ocean. The real difference
between the seasons is found in rainfall and
humidity: the rainy season, from late April to
October, is definitely muggy. Rainfall occurs
mainly as downpour or thunderstorm in the
afternoon, so that the amount of sunshine
hours, which is great in the dry months, remains
acceptable even during the rainy season.
In the capital San Salvador 68 inches of rain per
year fall.
Fermin grew up in a big family. He had a older
brother & sister and also one younger brother.
Fermin’s father had a strong influence on him
growing up. He taught him carpentry, how
to work with concrete, and most importantly
the value of hard work. Often houses build
in El Salvador were built with concrete walls.
Salvadoran families and their homes are
vulnerable to threats such as earthquakes,
volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and floods. Fermin
says,”My dad would love to work with me fixing
houses, he was my inspiration.”
However El Salvador didn't have a lot of
opportunities for Fermin.
El Salvador is the smallest and the most densely
populated country in Central America. The
housing shortage affects more than 944,000
families and continues to grow as the population
increases. That statistic means that 6 out of
10 families live in inadequate housing. With
approximately 31.9% of the population living in
relative or extreme poverty, many families do
not have access to financing to improve their
homes. In addition, a 12-year civil war resulted
in the loss of some 75,000 lives and the displacement of
many families. Decades later, complications with land
legalization limit access to adequate housing. In addition,
social violence is prompting many families to leave their
homes and communities.
Fermin had friends that went to the United States and then
shared with him great opportunities in the USA. He had
dreams of making a better life for himself and in the future
sending money home to his family. So, Fermin started
his journey to Glenbury, Texas where he was a migrant
worker . He did manual labor, nothing skilled. Then
Fermin made his way to Maryland and met up with a guy
named Robert Dunne. Who not only taught him American
style carpentry but also the Fire Protect ion Business. More
importantly Robert Dunne, after witnessing Fermin’s
values, has been a mentor to Fermin—He taught him to
speak English !
Fermin has a sixteen year-old son with his girl friend
Marguerite whom he met here in Maryland. They both
help him with the houses. Fermin started buying houses
because he knew that that was the way to financial
independence. Like his dad, Fermin likes to make what
ever is not right—Right ! He like to see the “before and
after” when he rehabs a house.He also does carpentry and
small jobs on the side, like for Andy and I.
Fermin came from a loving family and from a country that
didn't have a whole lot of economic opportunities. As I
said in the beginning of this story, Fermin came here with
nothing, no English, no formal education but had a dream.
What’s next ? He says,”Eventually I want to own a house in
the Country, no mortgage --free and clear.”
I believe he Will.
Unethical Real Estate
Methods Exposed
Ten-year-old Emma Hemphill of Lewisville,
North Carolina, packed 110 Operation
Christmas Child shoebox gifts in six weeks.
Emma celebrates packing 110 shoeboxes! “We are praying that
every child who receives a box will come to know Jesus,” her
mom, Maegan, said.
Emma Hemphill, 10, is like a lot of girls her age: her favorite color
is blue and she likes to ride her bike, go to the park, and swim.
But like only three in a million children her age, she has Ewing’s
sarcoma—a rare form of bone cancer.
Diagnosed on October 3, 2016, Emma was immediately
hospitalized and spent all but five days of that first month
receiving chemotherapy. When friends from River Oaks
Community Church in Clemmons, North Carolina, visited her in
the hospital and asked what they could bring her, Emma said she
wanted items to put in Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
People brought toys, schools supplies, and hygiene items to
her room on the ninth floor of Brenner Children’s Hospital in
Winston-Salem so she could do just that.
“It helped to pass the time,” Emma said. But that wasn’t the only
reason why I did it.
“I love packing them.
It’s just a lot of fun
for me. It makes
me feel really good
inside. I love helping
others,” she said.
She filled 110
shoebox gifts in the
six weeks between
Emma Hemphill hugs a sample of the donated her diagnosis and
homemade teddy bears she packed in her National Collection
Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
Week, the third week in November.
‘I Just Wanted Them All to Know and Love Jesus’
The shoebox items came from friends, donation boxes set up at
her sisters’ schools, and a couple trips to the store as a family.
When Emma was able to be at home, their living room became
shoebox-packing central.

If he or she is stalling in order to double dip – While it’s rare,
agents have been known to delay listing your home in the MLS
database preventing the official marketing of your home and
showing it to many potential buyers. The scheme is to find a
buyer themselves and collect commission on both the sale and
purchase. You can avoid this problem by verifying what the agent
has accomplished and following up on anything that’s not getting
done in a timely fashion.
