Individual Financial Help #929066

Asked April 21, 2026, 9:04 AM EDT

I saw on the State of Michigan website that I could connect with a financial advisor through this site. Can I connect individually, or is it only the webinars offered? I am a young prospective homebuyer. I won't be ready for a year or so, but I want to know everything I can about the process.
