Homebuyer Education
The RHA’s Homebuyer Assistance Program includes homebuyer education and counseling in both group and individual sessions with a trained Client Services Advisor.
Homebuyer Education Class
The Homebuyer Education Class is a 9-hour program to help prepare you to purchase and own a home. Attending the class is required before receiving mortgage assistance from the RHA or to be able to access special government mortgage products. In the class, you’ll learn how to assess buyer readiness, budget successfully, identify credit issues, understand the underwriting process for a mortgage, select an affordable home, prepare for the closing process and maintain your home.
The class is facilitated by the RHA with contributions from local professionals such as loan officers, real estate brokers and insurance agents who teach participants about their specific field of expertise. The class is typically offered monthly, either a full day Saturday or three consecutive Wednesday nights. Registration is required. Click here for a class schedule or contact the RHA.
