Family Home Evening will be held at Wendy and Dorian's new home on January 7th at 7:30pm (thanks Wendy, FYI Dorian). The topic will be "Getting Your House in Order in Preparation for Buying Your First Home". Lee Bray will discuss lessons learned about what lenders look for when you apply for a mortgage. Whether you plan to purchase your first home in 6 months or 6 years, the things you do now will affect the interest rate you pay, loan options offered to you, and even if you will be able to get a mortgage at all. Knowing how the game is played will help you be better stewards of the resources Heavenly Father has blessed you with, and put you in a better position to provide for your family in the future.
Address is 2610 S. Fern St., Arlington, Virginia
Call Lee at 847-404-5357 for further info.
