September First-Time Homebuyer Workshop

Get HUD-certified help to ensure you’re ready to buy a home

Buying your first home is exciting, but it’s also one of the biggest financial hurdles you’ll overcome in your lifetime. To avoid delays and minimize the stress of getting mortgage approval, you need to know what to expect. Knowledge is power when it comes to buying a home.

This free HUD-approved homebuyer workshop will teach first-time homebuyers everything you need to know to become mortgage-ready.

During this 6-hour online workshop you’ll learn:

How to overcome the three biggest challenges that block homebuyers from getting mortgage approval, such as:

• • Bad credit or no credit
  • Limited income
  • Too much debt

How to qualify for valuable first-time homebuyer assistance programs that help minimize upfront mortgage costs, including:

• • Down payment assistance
  • Closing cost assistance

How to get the most out of home inspections:

• • Questions ask your inspector
  • Extra inspections that may be needed for older homes or pools
  • How the results of the inspection can affect your final purchase

How to ensure you have all the insurance you need:

• • Basic homeowner’s insurance
  • Flood and fire coverage required in certain regions
  • Private mortgage insurance

Once you complete the homebuyer workshop you’ll receive:

• A HUD-approved completion certificate is good for up to one year. This certificate is necessary to qualify for many down payment and closing cost assistance programs.
• A one-on-one counseling session with a HUD-certified housing counselor. Together, you’ll create a customized action plan to help you become mortgage-ready. This will help you avoid delays in the homebuying process and ensure you can get approved without hassle.
