Some topics covered include property types and associated responsibilities\, budget and financial considerations beyond the mortgage payment\, homeownership as an investment\, first-time homebuyer programs\, and the current housing market. \nDate: Thursday\, December 5th \nTime: 6-7:15 PM \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n    \n            \n          Homebuying 100: Introduction to Homebuying\n\n          \n          ABCDC has no upcoming classes\, please check back Fall 2025 for updates or contact counseling@allstonbrightoncdc.org for more information.
