Homes and Heroes: Tampa Happy Hour
About this Event
HOMES AND HEROES - LEARN & NETWORK WITH YOUR FELLOW VETERANS & FIRST RESPONDERS
Join us for Homes and Heroes, a free homebuyer education and networking event created specifically for the people who serve our communities: veterans, active-duty military, first responders, healthcare professionals, and teachers/school staff.
Hosted by Matthew Ayala, a U.S. Navy veteran and mortgage professional who specializes in helping veterans, active-duty servicemembers, first responders, healthcare professionals, and teachers become homeowners.
Whether you're hoping to buy your first home and learn what special programs are available to you, planning your next move, or simply want to learn what homeownership could look like for you, this event is designed to give you useful information in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
Hosted at Florida Ave Brewing Company, Heroes & Homeownership is half homebuyer education and half happy hour and networking. Enjoy complimentary food and drinks, meet other local heroes, professionals and other members of the Tampa community, and learn about the homebuying process without sitting through a giant sales pitch.
He'll cover topics including:
- How the homebuying and mortgage process actually works
- How much money you may need to buy a home
- Credit, income, assets, and mortgage qualification
- VA, FHA, and Conventional loan options
- Exclusive low and no-down-payment financing opportunities
- Exclusive down-payment and closing-cost assistance programs
- Homebuying programs exclusive to eligible community heroes
- Common mistakes first-time homebuyers should avoid
- How to determine a realistic homebuying budget
- What to do now if you're not quite ready to buy
- Live Q&A about mortgages and homeownership
You DON'T need to be ready to buy a home today. In fact, this event is a great opportunity for anyone who thinks they may want to purchase within the next few months, or even the next few years, to learn how the process works and what they can do now to prepare.
After the educational portion, stick around for food, drinks, networking, and one-on-one conversations with Matthew and other members of the Tampa community.
