CENTEX HOMES' READY-TO-OWN WORKSHOP

The Chamber was sent this in the mail today. It looks like a great workshop for future first time home-owners. Centex has been a Chamber member since 2002, and employs 140 people in the region.

Who:
Anyone interested in a home but confused about the market and anyone who wants to stop renting and get into a home of their own.

What:
At Centex Homes' Ready-to-Own Workshop, Centex experts talk about how to look for your new home and review common rent/own questions including:

• What is a down payment?


• Can I buy a home without a down payment?


• Do I have to pay the whole price up front


• Will Centex help me finance my new home?


• Is this a good time to invest in a home?


• I'm stuck in a lease. Do I have the option to move right now?


• Will someone at Centex walk me through the home-buying process?


• What do mortgage calculators do?

All future home-owners who attend will receive complimentary lunch and can register to win prizes from Ikea, Best Buy and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

When:
Saturday, Sept. 22 from Noon - 2 p.m.

Where:
Forest Knoll
216 Emory Lane SE
Rochester, MN 55904
