Finally Home! Spanish Home Buyer Education Classes
Start in Twin Falls May 15 (Monday)
TWIN FALLS - Finally Home! classes will
take place in Spanish May 15 and 22 (Monday) from 6-9 p.m., the Idaho
Partners for Home Buyer Education, Inc. (IPHBE) announced today.
Students should pre-register by contacting Jeannette Jeffries at
324-3354.
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, how to choose a Realtor®
and how to make an offer.
Students who complete the class may be eligible for
special incentives such as downpayment 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. The College of
Southern Idaho is a regional training partner for the IPHBE and offers
free home buyer education classes in both English and Spanish
regularly.
