Frequently asked questions
It is free.
Each state has different programs/requirements for downpayment assistance. NDHFA provides the downpayment assistance, so you would need to qualify through them (or via your lender). If you use these programs and they require a homebuyer class, you can use this one. ND requirements are very lenient.
The sooner, the better. People considering buying a home someday, people closing in two weeks, and people that haven't bought a house in awhile have all attended this class and found it useful.
This varies by program, county, state, and year. We'll talk about this in class but to summarize: ND has very lenient guidelines for downpayment assistance and many people qualify.
No, just North Dakota. It's not a bad idea to take it anyway, because fewer people in the valley use MN Downpayment Assistance vs ND Downpayment Assistance AND we talk about both ND and MN. It's free knowledge, so don't pass it up!
