​The SKHS Series: Homebuying Masterclass
Hosted by Angelina Spiropoulos, Real Estate Agent; Taylor Walsh, Loan Officer; and Catherine Powers, Real Estate Attorney.

​Buying a home can feel overwhelming—especially with student loans, freelance income, and nonstop headlines telling you to “wait.” This free, practical masterclass is designed for Gen-Z and Millennials who want clear, realistic guidance on what it actually takes to buy a home today. Our expert panel will break down common myths, real numbers, and smart next steps so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

​Attendees can expect to:

• ​Debunk common down payment and affordability myths

• ​Learn how to qualify with student loans, freelance, or non-traditional income

• ​Understand the real numbers behind renting vs. buying 

• ​Leave with practical insights to decide whether buying now—or waiting—makes sense for you
