The HomesFund is back to teaching Homebuyer Education Classes locally in Pagosa Springs.
The Homebuyer Education Class will equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate the housing market to become a homeowner. This class is a high level overview of the whole home buying process, everything from budgeting to determine what you can afford, lending and what you can qualify for, shopping for the home, the contract period and what to expect post-closing. Completion of this course opens up various subsidized lending programs as well as HomesFund’s down payment assistance up to $125,000.
A class is scheduled in Pagosa Springs this coming Saturday, May 20, from 8:30am – 4:30pm at the Ross Aragon Community Center. There will be periodic breaks and a 1-hour break for lunch.
Registration for class is through HomesFund’s website, www.homesfund.org and a $15 workbook fee will be collected at registration.
