Housing Tip of the Week: HUD-Approved Homebuyer Education and Counseling

One of your New Year’s resolutions may include buying a home. Whether you are currently renting or moving to our great city of Baltimore, please take the opportunity to enroll in Homebuyer Education and Homebuyer Counseling. Several excellent HUD-approved Homebuyer Education and Counseling organizations are ready for you. They can help first-time homebuyers understand the process, prepare financially, assist with available grants to help with their purchase, and avoid scams.
