From Renters to Proud Homeowners: How Bruno and Katherine Made It Happen 

When rising rent costs made Bruno and Katherine reconsider their living situation, they turned to Idaho Housing and Finance for guidance—and found so much more. With the help of a knowledgeable REALTOR® and the Finally Home!® homebuyer education course, they discovered that homeownership was not only possible, it was within reach. 

The Finally Home!® course walked them through every step of the journey—from budgeting and understanding loan types to navigating closing costs and home maintenance. It also helped them qualify for down payment and closing cost assistance—relieving some of the financial pressure of buying their first home. 

With added support from Idaho Housing’s team, Bruno and Katherine had the confidence and resources to purchase a home in their early 20s. Today, they’re building equity, customizing their space, and calling a place their own. 

“It was nice to just get those questions answered. Especially when you’re kind of iffy about stuff—because it’s your first time going through the process.” – Bruno
