Homebuyer Readiness Courses
If you have any interest in buying a home someday, this is the place to start. The Roxbury Center for Financial Empowerment offers this workshop on the third Thursday of the month.
In this workshop, you will learn:
– How a mortgage works and how to get one
– How a credit score affects your ability to get a loan
– What are the upfront cost with buying a home
– Where you can get free resources to make the process easier
Introduction to Financial Coaching & Credit Building
A good credit score saves you money by opening the door to cheaper loans, better credit card offers, and greater job and housing opportunities. Fortunately, a credit score doesn’t depend on how much money you have; it only depends on your ability to follow some basic rules. In this workshop, you can learn the formula to increase your credit score and the opportunity to work one-on-one with a Financial Coach!
