Finally Home! Home Buyer Education Classes Held in Sandpoint March 16 & 17 (Thursday and Friday)

SANDPOINT - Finally Home! classes will take place March 16 and March 17 (Thursday and Friday) from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m., the Idaho Partners for Home Buyer Education, Inc. (IPHBE) announced today. Students should pre-register by calling 263-1295.

The classes are specifically designed to teach first-time home buyers everything they need to know about buying a home—from how to qualify for a mortgage with bad credit or no credit, how much cash is needed for closing—to how to choose a Realtor® and how to make an offer.

Students who complete the class may be eligible for special incentives such as down-payment and closing cost assistance and lower mortgage insurance premiums through participating lenders.

Qualified industry professionals volunteer their time as instructors and teach home buyer education to potential or existing home owners in a traditional classroom setting. This class is co-sponsored by First Security Bank and St. Vincent de Paul, a Regional Training Partner for the IPHBE who offers free home buyer education classes monthly.
