Learn the ins and outs of the home buying process and home ownership.

Owning a home takes a lot of time, money, and energy, so not only is it important to be educated about the process, but also about home ownership. Presented by Open Communities, this course covers what a lender looks for in a loan application, credit basics, down payments, and the players in the home buying process. 

Financial Fitness 2026 is a free financial literacy series presented by BIG (Business Interest Group), a group of business librarians in the Chicago suburbs. In support of the libraries’ mission of providing access to reliable information, these virtual programs offer practical tips and advice from experienced financial advisors.
