MARYVILLE, Tenn., September 2, 2020 – Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company, published a new resource for first-time home buyers preparing for homeownership. The new digital Homeowner’s Guide aims to provide more insight and tips on the basics of homeownership and personal finance.
