She noted that one thing that stopped her from securing the loan was the unreasonable interest rates, forcing her to sell her house and some core properties.

"It is really crazy. At a point, (gets emotional) I am getting personal now. When we started the project, I had to sell my house because I went to the banks for a loan, and the percentages did not make sense," she said in a video shared on her Instagram page.

Yvonne Nelson said the house was sentimental because she shared many memories there. However, she said that was the only way to proceed with the project.

Unfortunately, despite selling the house, she ran out of funds again and had to resort to her personal savings.
