Buying a home is often one of the biggest goals of our lifetime and can feel totally daunting and scary. We’re here to help make it feel less scary :) In this workshop, Brunch & Budget will walk you through all the financial, emotional, and mental things you need to think about as you prepare to buy your first home, all the way through the closing process and maintaining one.

We’ll discuss:

• Having the right credit score

• Calculating debt to income ratios

• Documents you need to apply for a mortgage

• Breaking down upfront costs
