RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — Richland County is hosting two events to help residents learn how to buy a home.
The county is hosting first-time homebuyer information sessions on June 3 and 17. The sessions will focus on "the three C's" of preapproval: credit, character, and capacity. Attendees will learn about the credit score they need to be pre-approved for a home, what lenders look for to determine someone's reliability in paying the money back and how future homeowners can determine their capacity to repay.
Jessica Edmond with Nexa Mortgage will speak at the event and answer questions.
Both events will be held from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the conference room at the Richland County Magistrate Court at 2500 Decker Blvd. in Columbia. Refreshments will also be available.
To register, visit the Richland County government webpage for the sessions.
