Buying a Home in the Louisville Kentucky Area (Home Ownership Programs) Louisville Ky

If you’re thinking about buying a home in the Louisville Kentucky Area, , you might want to think about talking to one of these Louisville Kentucky Home Buyers  agencies first. They can provide you with valuable advice on every step of the process, from budgeting your income to negotiating a contract to closing on a loan. The assistance doesn’t stop once you’ve moved in; many agencies will also give you guidance on how to maintain your home and how to prevent foreclosure. Most of these agencies provide their services at no charge. Usually, anyone can take advantage of the programs, although they are aimed primarily at first-time buyers. In some cases, counseling is required by lenders, especially if any government assistance is being provided to help lower a loan rate or help pay for closing costs. All of the agencies will provide interpreters for those who don’t speak English.

real estate agent, finding a lender, figuring out how much you can afford

by HUD to provide default and reverse equity mortgage counseling,

too. Counseling on debt management and budgets also is available. The

initial counseling session is free. Consumer Credit has six sites through

HUD-certified program in Kentucky. The program provides counseling,

courses and other services to those who want to own a home. It also

provides counseling to home owners who are in danger of default. Participants

courses cover basics, such as sales contracts, home inspections, mortgage

loans, insurance and maintenance. A one-time fee based on income may

be assessed. Scholarships are available. The fee entitles participants to a lifetime of service. Home buyers often come back for help on budget

The Louisville Urban League Housing Services & Neighborhood

Revitalization Department offers the Home Ownership Training (HOT)

Program. Through individual and group counseling, HOT prepares

and prequalifies people for mortgages. In one-on-one sessions with a

certified HUD counselor, clients learn about budgeting, credit and home

ownership options. When financially ready (clean credit, steady budget

and savings), clients take four classes. These cover sales and purchase

contracts, inspections and maintenance, loan applications and closing,

and insurance. Classes are held the last two Tuesday and Thursday

nights of the month. Those who already save, budget and have established

good credit are eligible for a “fast track” version of this training—a

one-day group session called “Home Track.” The Urban League charges

a lifetime membership fee, which is set on a sliding scale, based on

income. The fee ranges from $100 to $250. Kentucky residency is not

required. Additional counseling is available on such issues as reverse

mortgages, delinquencies, refinancing and rental options.
