  • negotiating the sale
  • home inspections
  • insurance
  • property taxes
  • credit scores
  • interest rates

…and much more.

We’ll also provide an orientation to CPAH’s Down Payment Assistance grant programs.

 

How to get started:

REGISTER FOR A CLASS

CPAH’s pre-purchase education classes are offered in both English and Spanish during the evenings and weekends. All classes are taught by HUD-Certified Housing Counselors. Class registration is required. A $50 non-refundable fee is due at the time of registration. You can register up to two members of the same household for one $50 fee. However, both household members must be registered to ensure space is available.

Those arriving more than 15 minutes late will not receive a Certificate of Completion. This certificate is required by some mortgage lenders in order to obtain a loan. It is also required to receive down payment assistance through CPAH.
