How to Stop Renting and Start Paying Your Own Mortgage

HOW TO STOP RENTING & START PAYING YOUR OWN MORTGAGE

Think homeownership is out of reach? You might be closer than you think.

Join us in person for a fun, relaxed and informative evening designed to help renters understand exactly what it takes to become a homeowner.

We’ll help you understand your numbers, create a realistic budget and build a plan to get you from renting to owning. Even if you’re not ready today, we’ll help you understand what steps you can start taking now to work toward homeownership.

This will be our 11th time hosting this event, and 69% of attendees from our previous events became homeowners within one year of attending!

Whether you’re ready to buy now, think you may be a year or two away, or simply have no idea where to start, this event is for you.

WHY SHOULD YOU COME?

You do not have to be ready to buy a home today.

If homeownership is something you want in your future, we want to help you build a plan to get there. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your budget, your mortgage options, how much you may qualify for and what your next steps should be.

Come with your questions, bring a friend or partner and find out just how close you could be to owning your own home.
