If you are thinking about purchasing a home, the first step you should take is to attend a homebuyer education course! This course should cover the entire homebuying process and include such topics as:
ACRHA offers such a course every six to eight weeks on a Saturday from 9am to 5pm. The class covers all of the topics listed above and more. There is no charge for attending our class, however there is a $10 fee for the class manual. Breakfast and Lunch are provided for no additional charge. We also try to have a lender, a realtor, and an attorney speak at each class. See our Calendar of Events page for information on the next class. ACRHA has often taken the homebuyer education class "on the road" and is happy to do so in the future if enough interest can be demonstrated. Please feel free to contact us at any time about arranging a class in a particular location. Completion of an approved homebuyer education course is a prerequisite for ACRHA's Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program. It may also be a requirement for obtaining mortgage financing. ACRHA will also accept a certificate of completion of this course from other agencies on a case-by-case basis. To register for ACRHA's next class, please contact Tracy or Lauren Time is running out for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit!
