Fulfilling WHEDA’s Homebuyer Education Requirement

We have teamed up with the Housing Education Program to meet the WHEDA Advantage Conventional homebuyer education requirements:

The WHEDA-approved homebuyer education course supports WHEDA borrowers in becoming successful homeowners over the long term.

Homebuyer education is available to eligible members when the WHEDA Advantage Conventional home loan is approved by WHEDA and Arch MI for mortgage insurance coverage, and a Certificate number is issued.
