Home Buying Basics
Join us for an informative and helpful session on Home Buying Basics!
This class is designed to provide a foundational understanding of mortgages for first-time homebuyers or anyone looking to learn about the home loan process. The class typically covers key topics such as what a mortgage is, different types of mortgage loans (fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, FHA, VA), how interest rates work, the importance of credit scores, the mortgage application process, and the costs associated with buying a home (down payment, closing costs, etc.). Participants will also learn about how to budget for a mortgage, tips for improving loan eligibility, and the role of lenders and brokers in the mortgage process. This class aims to equip attendees with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions when purchasing a home.
Dinner will be provided! However, reservations are required and space is limited—sign up today and take the first step toward homeownership!
Thank you so much to all who are interested in attending. We intend to provide financial education classes on a quarterly basis. Follow us on social media or check this webpage to see the latest updates!
