First-Time Home Buyer Education
There are a variety of First-Time Home Buyer education classes around the Washington, DC area. Finding the right one for you will take some work. First, investigate the available assistance or rebate programs available in the state of your choice that will fit your specific situation (see the links below). These programs are usually tied to specific home buyer education classes from organizations approved by the state and/or by the U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Having a certified trainer can provide a great educational experience, and can give you confidence that the trainer(s) and their educational content have been vetted by the approving organization.
Ask if the educational classes cover the following Home Inspection items:
• Home Inspections and their value to the contractual and negotiating process
• The unique details and steps involved in a New Home Inspection process
• How to choose a Home Inspector and what to look for in a Home Inspector
• Learning how to determine defects in the home and how a Home Inspection greatly helps in that process
• Specific home hazards such as Radon, Mold, Lead, Asbestos, Termites and Wood Destroying Insects (WDI),
Toxic Materials and Air Quality
• Knowledge of local requirements such as updated Smoke Detector and fire prevention laws
• Why you need to choose a licensed home inspector
• Why additions and "flipped" homes need more detailed inspections
• What to ask the seller before you buy
• What to know about home warranty contracts that are offered
MHBI is proud to provide in-person discussions of the above referenced topics and more as part of the first-time home buyer classes provided monthly at Maryland and Virginia locations. More information and registration can be found on the state websites, linked below.
