HOMEBUYER CLASSES

First Time Homebuyer Classes - Monthly

We understand that buying a home is one of the most important purchases you will probably ever make. Taking the time to learn about the homebuying process and understand homeownership costs and benefits can save you time and money. NHSSA offers a First-Time Homebuyer Class each month to help new homebuyers succeed in their homeownership journey. 

​

Through this HUD-approved class, you will learn the following:

​

  • The benefits and responsibilities of homeownership

  • The various steps involved in your homeownership journey

  • The various roles & responsibilities of each of the professionals involved in the home purchase process

  • How to determine how much you can afford, so you can start shopping within your price range

  • Credit management and budgeting

  • How to obtain mortgage loan from a reputable lender

  • The process for shopping for a home

  • How to Maintain your home and avoid delinquency or foreclosure

 

The First -Time Homebuyer Class is a live 8-hour class, taken in two 4-hour evening sessions offered once a month from 5pm to 9pm. Participants must attend both sessions in order to receive their certificate of completion. While not required, we also highly encourage you to meet with a housing counselor to discuss your individual homeownership plan in a personalized one-on-one housing counseling session.
