JACKSONVILLE — The City of Jacksonville Community Development and Consumer Credit Counseling Service is sponsoring "The Nuts and Bolts of Home Buying," from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 20, at the First Electric Cooperative, located at 1000 JP Wright Loop Road in Jacksonville.
The class offers vital information to first-time and potential homebuyers interested in preparing for this major life event - buying a home for the first time.
Upon completion of the classes, a certificate will be issued to all qualified participants. The certificate will be valid for one year and can be used when purchasing a home anywhere in the state of Arkansas. The certificates range from $1000 - $3000, depending on the cost of the home. Attendance is required for the entire session to qualify for assistance.
