SUMMARY:Financial Empowerment Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Find out how to build your credit at our FREE Financial Empowerment Workshop on Saturday\, October 26\, at the Malcolm X Learning Center on 4624 W. Madison St in Chicago. \n\nLearn how to keep your spending under control\nLearn how to set goals while you build your credit\nReceive a free credit report with free credit counseling\nJoin the Home Buyer’s Club\n\nSome of the benefits of having a good credit score include: \n\nLow-Interest Rates on Credit Cards and Loans – The interest rate is one of the costs you pay for borrowing money and\, often\, the interest rate you get is directly tied to your credit score. If you have a good credit score\, you’ll almost always qualify for the best interest rates\, and you’ll pay lower finance charges on credit card balances and loans. The less money you pay in interest\, the faster you’ll pay off the debt and the more money you have for other expenses.\nBetter Chance for Credit Card and Loan Approval – Borrowers with a poor credit history typically avoid applying for a new credit card or loan because they’ve been turned down previously. Having an excellent credit score doesn’t guarantee approval\, because lenders still consider other factors like your income and debt. However\, a good credit score increases your chances of being approved for new credit. In other words\, you can apply for a loan or credit card with confidence.\nMore Negotiating Power – A good credit score gives you leverage to negotiate a lower interest rate on a credit card or a new loan. If you need more bargaining power\, you can take advantage of other attractive offers that you’ve received from other companies based on your credit score. However\, if you have a low credit score\, creditors are unlikely to budge on loan terms\, and you won’t have other credit offers or options.\nBetter Car Insurance Rates – Your borrowing capacity is based on your income and your credit score. One of the benefits of having a good credit score is that banks are willing to let you borrow more money because you’ve demonstrated that you pay back on time what you’ve borrowed. You may still get approved for some loans with a bad credit score\, but the amount will be limited.\n\nEvery 4th Saturday. Begins promptly\, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m \nFor questions or to RSVP for our Financial Empowerment Workshop call 773-887-5187\, email info@westcookhomeownership.org\, or register online by clicking HERE. \nThe West Cook Homeownership Center is a program of the Oak Park Regional Housing Center.

SUMMARY:FREE Homebuyer Education Orientation
DESCRIPTION:Learn the home buying process by joining the West Cook Homeownership Center on Tuesday\, August 27th for our FREE Homebuyer Education Orientation at Oak Park Village Hall\, on 123 Madison St\, Oak Park\, IL\, from 6-8 pm. Join us\, as we share: \n\nThe steps in the home buying process\nWhy you should work with a HUD approved agency\nOptions for financing\nThe real value of your professional partners\nShould you continue to rent or pursue homeownership\n\nHere are some of the benefits of owning your own home: \nHomeownership is an investment – Unlike a car and many other purchases that decrease in value\, a home is a purchase that appreciates over time. While each local market has its own unique factors\, the national median home price goes up each year\, even in times of recession. As you pay your mortgage each month\, your debt amount goes down\, while the value of your home continues to rise. This creates the buying and reinvestment power better known as equity. \nGain equity – When it comes to homeownership\, investment and equity are directly related. As you make mortgage payments each month\, part of the payment goes toward the interest\, while the rest pays down the principal balance. Equity can be better defined as the part of the principal balance you’ve already paid\, or the percentage of your home you already own. Paying the principal is like depositing money in the bank\, because that money becomes available for reinvestment in the home itself or a new home. \nTake advantage of tax benefits – The federal government encourages homeownership by offering tax incentives for homeowners. The biggest one is the option to deduct interest from mortgage payments on your income tax return\, especially at the start of a mortgage when most of the payment is applied to the interest. Payments on private mortgage insurance (PMI) and certain home-related purchases also qualify for tax benefits. \nRegister HERE to get started in taking advantage of the benefits from owning your own home. You can also register for our Homebuyer Education Orientation by calling us at 773-887-5187 or email info@westcookhomeownership.org. \nThe West Cook Homeownership Center is a program of the Oak Park Regional Housing Center.

SUMMARY:Learn How to Build Your Credit
DESCRIPTION:Find out how to build your credit at our FREE Financial Empowerment Workshop on Saturday\, July 27th\, at the Malcolm X Learning Center on 4624 W. Madison St in Chicago. \n\nLearn how to keep your spending under control\nLearn how to set goals while you build your credit\nReceive a free credit report with free credit counseling\nJoin the Home Buyer’s Club\n\nSome of the benefits of having a good credit score includes: \n\nLow Interest Rates on Credit Cards and Loans – The interest rate is one of the costs you pay for borrowing money and\, often\, the interest rate you get is directly tied to your credit score. If you have a good credit score\, you’ll almost always qualify for the best interest rates\, and you’ll pay lower finance charges on credit card balances and loans. The less money you pay in interest\, the faster you’ll pay off the debt and the more money you have for other expenses.\nBetter Chance for Credit Card and Loan Approval – Borrowers with a poor credit history typically avoid applying for a new credit card or loan because they’ve been turned down previously. Having an excellent credit score doesn’t guarantee approval\, because lenders still consider other factors like your income and debt. However\, a good credit score increases your chances of being approved for new credit. In other words\, you can apply for a loan or credit card with confidence.\nMore Negotiating Power – A good credit score gives you leverage to negotiate a lower interest rate on a credit card or a new loan. If you need more bargaining power\, you can take advantage of other attractive offers that you’ve received from other companies based on your credit score. However\, if you have a low credit score\, creditors are unlikely to budge on loan terms\, and you won’t have other credit offers or options.\nBetter Car Insurance Rates – Your borrowing capacity is based on your income and your credit score. One of the benefits of having a good credit score is that banks are willing to let you borrow more money because you’ve demonstrated that you pay back on time what you’ve borrowed. You may still get approved for some loans with a bad credit score\, but the amount will be limited.\n\nEvery 4th Saturday. Begins promptly\, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m \nFor questions or to RSVP call 773-887-5187\, email info@westcookhomeownership.org\, or register online by clicking HERE. \nThe West Cook Homeownership Center is a program of the Oak Park Regional Housing Center.
