DMV residents interested in learning more about the homeownership journey – whether a current renter, homeowner or prospective property manager – can add to their toolbox of resources with help from local agencies across the region.
From annual homeownership conferences to intimate workshops and trainings, organizations are offering support in estate planning, first-time homeownership, financing assistance, heirs’ rights and so much more.
Make sure to tap into these programs and bring the whole family because homeownership is a generational issue.
