**It is mandatory as part of the registration, that the participant submit the Welcome and Disclosure forms, which we will be sending via email, as well as a photo of their identification. These are necessary for creating your profile.**

In this workshop you will learn about:

• The home purchase process

• The legal process in home buying

• Budgeting and credit

• Insurance on your home

• Down payment assistance

• Obtaining a mortgage

• Fair Housing Multi-Family considerations

• Lead Paint

• Lottery Properties

Once you have taken the workshop (1 class, 2 sessions. Mandatory to attend both sessions), you will get certified. In order to receive your certificate of completion, we collect the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Loan Estimate once you are in the process of buying a home. (We do this, so we can help you ensure that all paperwork is in order, guide you in the process, and satisfy our funding sources.)

This workshop was approved by HUD, MassHousing, MHP One Mortgage, and other lenders.

Once the class is completed, participants can meet with a Housing Counselor and get a free Trimerge Credit Report. There is no cost of meeting with a counselor.

**Please note that this seminar will be held live through Zoom. The participants are required to have a camera, keyboard, microphone, and audio to "attend" the event.**
