After completing education, give your education certificate to your lender as proof you completed the VHFA homebuyer education requirement. Only one borrower per household must complete education. If education is completed more than 18 month prior to the loan closing date or education does not meet the above requirements, the borrower will be required to retake education at their own expense. For questions, please contact your lender.
In most cases, VHFA borrowers purchasing a 2-unit duplex must complete online landlord education in addition to homebuyer education.
Contact your lender to determine if landlord education is required for you.
Your lender will help you locate an online course that will meet the requirement.
After completing landlord education, provide the completion certificate to your lender as soon as possible.
