• Avoiding predatory lending scams, including identity theft and credit card fraud.

• Maintaining and repairing a home, including seasonal upkeep and energy conservation.

• Improving budgeting skills, maintaining a good credit file, stopping unwanted solicitations and keeping good records.

• Homeowner, life and disability insurance basics.

• Being a good neighbor and an asset to the community.

• What to do if you find yourself in trouble with your mortgage, how your mortgage lender works and what to look for if you want to refinance.
