About the event
You have worked hard to build stability, and you would love to help your adult child do the same through homeownership. But how much can you safely contribute—and what could helping mean for your retirement, savings, home equity and family relationships?
Join REALTOR Brooke Grayson with John Mallett and Christina Fishback of Mainstreet Mortgage for Opening the Door for the Next Generation, a practical workshop for parents, grandparents and other family members who want to understand their options before making a financial commitment.
Together, we will explore questions such as:
Can we help without compromising our retirement or emergency savings?
Could we use our home equity—and how might that affect our own payment and future plans?
Is it better to provide a gift, make a family loan, help with closing costs or match what the kids save?
