HOWNW.com™ is a free public resource for home buyers. It “was launched in 2008 as a public service website that provides real answers to common home buying questions.”
More from their web site:
The website includes a searchable, multi-lingual database of homebuying programs that are offered for homebuyers in the Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington County areas. Homebuyers may enter the area they wish to live in, number of people in their household, and their annual income to discover what financial programs and resources are available to help them become homeowners.
The website walks consumers through the homebuying process from start to finish and includes features such as a payment calculator, information on finding a loan, searching for a home, a real estate glossary and much more. In addition, information on consumer issues such as avoiding foreclosure, predatory lending, finding a healthy home, and credit is provided to help educate all consumers, including potential homebuyers.
Homebuyers may also turn to HOWNW.com™ for a list of homebuyer education and financial preparedness classes offered by our community partners that meet the requirements for homebuyer counseling required by some loan and assistance programs.
