CreditSmart Asian
CreditSmart Asian is a three-part series of multilingual guidebooks focused on helping Asian Americans become more informed consumers. Available in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and English, the guidebooks provide valuable and culturally relevant information on establishing and maintaining good credit, the steps to homeownership, and the benefits and responsibilities of owning a home.
The series begins with The Importance of Good Credit, based largely on Freddie Mac's award-winning CreditSmart curriculum. Steps to Homeownership walks the consumer through the process, from loan application to post-closing, dispelling common myths and building the consumer's confidence along the way. Homeowner Benefits and Responsibilities provides priceless information on protecting the home investment through home maintenance, money management, and avoiding financial traps.
