It costs $99 for the first person in the household and $49 for each additional household member. The course must be taken separately by each additional household borrower. The primary borrower should register first and provide co-borrower information at that time. Each co-borrower will receive an email to register their own account. You can complete the course at your own pace, any time or day. But check with your lender first. Some lenders require the in-person class. To get started: https://app.ehomeamerica.org/bri.
