In the latest episode of Doorsteps, Dr. Cody Price speaks with Jon Duy, Real Estate Relations Manager in OHFA's Office of Homeownership, who shares his expert insight into the homebuying process.

Jon answers these common questions and walks through some OHFA homebuyer programs that help make buying a house or condo easier.
