Why Should You Attend a First Time Buyer Class?
Posted on | January 7, 2010 | No Comments
One of the things I hear often asked in relation to THDA and other first time home owner programs is why some of these programs require you to attend a Buyer Education Class. On the surface, it would seem that they just want you to know what you are getting yourself into when purchasing a home for the first time. However, it is much more than that. These classes are designed to not only prepare you for what you can expect but they also want to protect you from making any unwise, knee-jerk emotional purchases that might lead you into financial trouble.
Had many people attended such a class in the early 2000’s we might have avoided the current housing situation but it is far easier to look back than to look forward. These classes are there for you and your family to learn the upside and the downside to home ownership as well as what you will need to have together to qualify for a home. Even if you are not required to take the class, you will be better prepared if you do to own a home. If you don’t have the time to take a class you can read the First Time Homebuyer Guide.
