CFR Provides Free Education for Future Home Owners Class Provides Valuable Information for Consumers Considering a New Home
The Center for Financial Resources’ (CFR) Homebuyer Express class is free to attend and open to the public. Topics include: personal money management; credit history review; mortgage financing and the loan process; shopping for a home; homeowner responsibilities; and predatory lending awareness. It is a valuable resource for those even just considering a home purchase.
The LSS Center for Financial Resources’ Homebuyer Express series is made possible through a grant from the SDHDA Homeownership Education Resource Organization (H.E.R.O.) H.E.R.O. Certificates of Completion are issued to participants after attending both parts 1 and 2. This certificate is required for some loan products, down payment assistance, and may qualify the buyer for closing cost credits through their title company.
Homebuyer Express Part One will be Tuesday, June 19th, and Part Two will be Tuesday, June 26th. Both classes will be 5:30-8:30 PM at the Downtown Library at 200 N Dakota Ave. in Sioux Falls. Those inter- ested can register through the calendar at www.LssSD.org or by calling 888-258-2227. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required to help ensure we have seating for those attending in person.
