Mortgage Matters: Financial Preparedness and Long-Term Planning

Roland and Heidi discuss upcoming down payment assistance classes with the Nevada Housing Division (Friday 11/15/24) and Nevada Rural Housing (Monday, 11/18/24). Both classes take place from 11am-noon, and lunch is provided. The show emphasizes the importance of understanding WHY one wants to buy a home. They advise potential buyers to consider their long-term goals, budget, and the additional costs of homeownership, such as maintenance and property taxes. Pre-approval for a mortgage is recommended before house hunting to set a realistic price range.
