Finally Home! Home Buyer Education Classes Start in Boise April 11 (Tuesday)

BOISE – Finally Home! classes will take place April 11 through 13 (Monday through Wednesday) from 7 – 9 p.m., the Idaho Partners for Home Buyer Education, Inc. (IPHBE) announced today. Students should pre-register by contacting Boise Neighborhood Housing Services at 343-4065.

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 and 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 reduced 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. Boise Neighborhood Housing Services is a regional training partner for the IPHBE and offers free home buyer education classes in Boise each month.
