Do you wonder if you would be better off buying rather than renting a home? Do you ever wonder how expensive of a home you could realistically afford? Do you wish you could build up equity in a home?

If you dream of owning your own home, attend our seminar and you will learn the steps required to purchase a home, including how to qualify for first-time homebuyer benefits and programs. Learn how to access various city, county and state programs to cover most of the costs you will be faced with to purchase your first home. To help potential first-time homebuyers understand all aspects of the home-buying process, this informative, interactive workshop provides valuable instruction on all important pre-purchase decisions and how to qualify for a home loan.

Participants also may learn:

• What to expect throughout the loan process;
  
• How their credit scores will affect their mortgage interest rates and fees; and
  
• The meaning of common real estate terms
  

Participants can receive a FREE credit report analysis and one-on-one consultation with a H.O.T partner.

You will also earn credit toward your Housing Workshop Certificate, which may enable you to get up to $3,500 in down-payment assistance from a Community Housing Development Organization in your area.
