The Real Cost of Buying: Understanding down payments, closing costs, and what you'll actually need upfront.
Credit & Debt: How your credit score and existing debt impact your ability to qualify.
What Can You Actually Afford? How to determine a comfortable monthly payment without becoming house-poor.
Down Payment Assistance: Exploring programs that could help make homeownership more attainable.
Your Personal Roadmap: What steps to take next, whether you're ready to buy now or a year from now.
BONUS: We'll have fresh cider and donuts from Yates Cider Mill!
Our goal is simple: You'll leave with a better understanding of what it takes to buy your first home and a clear idea of your next steps.
No pressure. No confusing mortgage jargon. Just real answers, real numbers, and a plan for your future.
