"This class is amazing! Attendees will receive the free step by step guide book of what to do and what steps to take in pursuing the dream of first homeownership. The material is easy to follow and very in depth. The questions, that are elicited by the material and stories, are priceless. The forum encouraged classroom participation..."

The eight-step process consists of making the decision to buy, how to hire a great real estate agent, determining what you can afford to buy, securing the best financing, recognizing the right home for you, crafting a winning offer and negotiating with sellers, spotting serious issues at inspection, closing on your new home and how to maintain it for years to come. You’ll also learn about successful creative financing strategies and ways to overcome less-than-perfect credit.

Very few people can afford to buy their dream home when they buy their first home. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors®, 69 percent of first-time home buyers in the United States compromised on some features of their first home. So you make some compromises, buy your first home, and start building equity. This approach takes you further and faster down the road to being able to own your dream home than if you hadn’t purchased a home at all.

If you’re renting and have a stable job with some savings, and a credit score in the high 600 range, you can likely qualify for FHA or conventional financing at historically low rates.

The key question you need to consider is, of course, why are you still renting? Think about it for a moment. If your reason is fear, then it may be time to let go of that fear and focus on the facts of home ownership.
