Fast Track Class
For most people, buying a home is the single largest purchase made in a lifetime. It's important that prospective homebuyers gain the financial skills needed to build a good credit history, combined with savings and/or emergency funds. This building of funds helps create the foundation for sustainable wealth and eventual homeownership.
Prepurchase education provides participants with components which are designed to educate and build new skills for prospective buyers on all facets of the home buying process. Typical subjects include homeownership readiness and affordability; money and credit management; types of properties and financing available, purchase, mortgage and closing process and home maintenance and financial management after the sale. The content is delivered by certified agency staff and various real estate professionals on their specific areas of expertise.
The Fast Track Class is offered at PENCIL Foundation every 3rd Saturday of the month. Please contact Jacque Green at 242-3167 x 259 to sign up for a class.
