A Home Stretch Home Buyer Workshop is required to qualify for many special first time home buyer mortgages and down payment assistance programs. But whether or not it is required for your financing, my clients have given feedback that Home Stretch classes are very informative and a great way to prepare for home ownership.
Sponsored by the Minnesota Home Ownership Council, Home Stretch classes walk you through each step of the home buying process and include topics such as…
- Steps to becoming a homeowner
- How to prepare financially for homeownership
- What you can afford to pay for a home
- Importance of credit and how it impacts homeownership
- How to choose the the right mortgage loan and get approved
- Ways to shop for a home
- What to do when you are ready to make an offer on a home
- Importance of having a home inspection
- How to prepare for loan closing and closing procedures
- Responsibilities of homeownership
