Reply to comment by mommy2boy in WHY ARE HOUSES SO EXPENSIVE by mommy2boy

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.
