First Time Home Buyer Workshop with Hope Bungard + Consumers Credit Union

Buying your first home in Greater Lansing and low-key spiraling every time someone says “escrow”? Perfect. This workshop is for you. Join local real estate advisor Hope Bungard and veteran loan officer Everett Hurt for a no-fluff, actually-useful breakdown of what it really takes to buy your first home. We’re walking you step-by-step from that first meeting all the way to closing day—keys in hand, confidence intact. We’ll cover: * What your credit score actually means (and how to not accidentally tank it mid-search) * Debt-to-income ratios without the financial jargon headache * Loan options you didn’t know existed * Why 20% down is not the golden rule everyone thinks it is * Real ways people are funding down payments (yes, including 401k options and assistance programs) * The full truth about closing costs and what makes up your monthly mortgage payment * The big “don’t you dare” money moves while you’re under contract If you’re tired of Googling at 11:47 PM and getting 14 different answers, come get clarity from two pros who do this every day in the Greater Lansing market. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just strategy, education, and a clear game plan so you can stop renting and start building equity. Spots are limited—RSVP and let’s turn “someday” into a plan.
