So, you’ve decided that homeownership is right for you… now what?
This 3-part workshop series hosted by the MNO Financial Literacy Program in April 2023 will walk you through the homebuying process and what you need to know as you prepare to buy your first home.
The first 45-minute workshop covers budgeting for homeownership – understanding how your current budget will change once you become a homeowner, learning about the costs of buying and maintaining a home, and considering what you can do to prepare your budget for homeownership.
The second 45-minute workshop is all about your down payment – how much you need, where it can come from, and what supports exist to help you maximize your savings, including information on the MNO Home Buyers Contribution Program.
The third and final 45-minute workshop dives into qualifying for a mortgage – understanding how mortgages work, what information you’ll need to provide, and how to overcome some of the common qualifying barriers.
Please note that there have been changes made to the MNO Home Buyers Contribution Program since this workshop was recorded. For the most up-to-date program parameters, please reference the MNO Home Buyers Contribution webpage.
