DESCRIPTION
Great Choice Mortgage Program (THDA) class will be held IN PERSON.
REALTORS®: DO YOU WANT MORE CLOSINGS?
Learn how to help your buyers overcome a major barrier by giv-ing them an option to use down payment assistance. Become a hero to first-time homebuyers by saying yes when others have told them no. Learn the ins and outs of THDA’s Great Choice program and make more deals work because you understand the rules and exceptions. Finally, by taking this 4-hour class you will earn the pre-ferred THDA Realtor status for three years!
Join us and learn the answers to the following questions about THDA mortgages:
-
How can a veteran get a reduced interest rate on his/her mortgage loan?
-
Does a veteran have to be a first-time homebuyer to obtain a THDA mortgage?
-
How can a loan provide a free 6-month interest rate lock…while home is being constructed?
-
How can a buyer get funds to pay for closing costs if the seller doesn’t pay?
-
Can a buyer get money to be used as a down payment on an FHA loan…with no second mortgage on the property?
-
Can a buyer with a 620 credit score be approved?
-
What THDA-administered program can help unemployed or underemployed homeowners make their mortgage payments and even bring arrearages current?
The answers to all of these questions may allow a transaction to close. Whereas, without this knowledge, your buyer may be told that they have insufficient funds to close, or have unacceptable ratios, or have a credit score that regular investors will not approve. Your knowledge of THDA requirements may allow your transaction to close with THDA.
Course material will be provided during class.

Are You In The Zone? A Guide to Planning & Zoning class will be held IN PERSON.
Most real estate professionals only deal in the present. They focus exclusively on current conditions and how a property looks right now. However, to be successful in real estate you need to understand not just the present but also the future.
Understanding planning and zoning for all areas in which you work is critical to the success of your real estate transactions. Your knowledge of these concepts will help you advise clients about whether a property is a good value, whether it is likely to appreciate, whether it is appropriate for their goals now, what development is proposed around a property for the future, and whether their proposed use fits in with future growth.
You'll help empower your business with a greater understanding of which places might present strong opportunities for clients now and which might present better opportunities in the future.
