RI Housing does free “classes” you can take. We did it when we were first considering trying to buy a house and it was helpful. They give you a ton of info and can offer a bunch of resources (realtors, lenders, etc).

Some grants and programs require you take these classes to earn their certificate, which is why we’d signed up originally. Ours had a few q&a sessions as we covered all the topics.

Highly recommend if you haven’t taken them yet. There’s a class for single family home ownership and another for multi family or properties where you’d be a landlord.

These classes do provide a lot of good info, especially for people who have no previous experience in the homebuying process. They are also a requirement for a Rhode Island Housing loan, so getting done up front just saves some time.
