SPONSORED BY HOPS N' HOMES
Speaking of independence..
Wouldn’t you love to not pay rent anymore? If you’re dreaming of owning your own home, you gotta go to a Hops n’ Homes class. Designed for first time buyers, this free monthly class will teach you everything you need to know about buying a home in the Treasure Valley.
I took this class and it changed everything. In one month, I went from thinking we had zero chance of buying a house in Boise to closing on a house. Not kidding! Hops n’ Homes taught me where to look for houses, how to assemble a great team, what loan was best for me, and answered all my newbie questions without making me feel dumb. I highly recommend!
