HOMEBUYER EDUCATION

Homebuyer Education

NeighborWorks Lincoln provides a HUD-approved pre-purchase course designed to prepare you for home ownership. The Homebuyer Education program is a series of four (4) in-person classes, typically held on the second and third Wednesdays and Thursdays of each month, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. 

During the Homebuyer Education course, you will learn how to:

  • analyze and manage finances, budget, and credit;
  • evaluate housing affordability;
  • work with realtors and banks; 
  • understand financial paperwork, closing costs, and the home buying process; and
  • determine the amount of money needed for home purchase.

Homebuyer education is available for all Lincoln residents, regardless of income. 

Due to program popularity, clients must sometimes wait 1 to 3 months before being accepted into a course. NeighborWorks maintains a waiting list, though, and clients are contacted when a spot is available. All adults in the household must attend all four (4) class sessions. If you have special needs or would be more comfortable in a course provided in a language other than English, please let us know and we will make the appropriate accommodations.
