HOMEBUYER EDUCATION

Virtual Homebuyer Education Class Schedule

NEW: Virtual Homebuyer Education classes

“Get Educated!” from the comfort of your home! RIHousing has launched our virtual Homebuyer Education Classes to help prospective homebuyers understand the process of buying and keeping a home.

The virtual option replaces our in-person class and information is presented “live” by our homebuying experts.

Customers who are first-time homebuyers are required to participate in this class prior to closing on a RIHousing loan.

Need more flexibility to take the class?

We’ve got you covered. Online classes feature the same basic principles taught at the in-person class and allow you to complete the material at your own pace.
