THE STATE OF HOUSING ON THE DECLINE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS 17
Median Wealth In 2009, a representative survey of American household revealed That the median wealth of: White families - $113,149 Latino families- $6,325 Black families - $5,677 The Gross Domestic Product of African American is 1.3 Trillion dollars and 1.5 Trillion dollars for Hispanics. Why is the median wealth so low? 18
Your Power Is Now to Build Wealth You're not building wealth if you use all your money for consumption.
The GDP of African American is 1.3 Trillion dollars (13 out of 182 countries) The GDP for Hispanics is 1.5 Trillion dollars (10 out of 182 countries)
19
The State of Housing for Minorities • The Black/Brown-White Economic Divide Real •
African American and Hispanic communities were hit the hardest by the Great Financial Crises from 2007 to 2009
•
They have the farthest to climb to get back into the home ownership before home values get back to their pre-recession prices.
•
It may be too late for many because interest rates will be rising and home prices are increasing now. 20
Lessons Learned - Great Financial Crisis 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
We must save money – Make it your #1 priority now and not later. We must live on a budget – Do not live by hope & faith and beyond your means We must establish an emergency fund – Plan for the worse & expect emergencies. We must stop long term financing vehicles - Pay cash or limit financing to 12 mos. We must become debt free – Save your money to buy what you want. Stop begging for what you need. 6. We must buy real property – Buy house before you buy an expensive personal property or car.
Great Recession and Great Gap The Wealth Gap Research Report Traced the same 1700 families over a 25-year period (1984-2009) and found that the total wealth gap between White and African-American families nearly tripled, increasing from:
• $85,000 in 1984 to $236,500 in 2009
The Wealth Gap: $152,000 and growing
22
1994 Blacks & Hispanic Homeownership Rates: 40 & 42% respectively. 2004 Blacks achieved a high of 50% 2014 Blacks were at 42.5% and Hispanics 43.5% Hispanics. 23
The State of Housing for Minorities •
The homeownership rate in the U.S. is 62.9 percent overall. The rate among whites is 71.5%, Asians, 53.7%, Hispanic 45.1%, African Americans 41.7%
24
The State of Housing by Age •
The homeownership rate by Age of Householder. Under 35 - 34.1 percent, 35 to 44 - 58.3 percent, 45 to 54 - 69.1 percent, 55 to 64 - 74.7 percent, 65 and over - 77.9 percent.
25
The State of Housing for Minorities •
If homeownership continues to be the primary vehicle that Minorities use to create wealth then Minorities are on the path to another Economic Crisis and homelessness!
•
It’s time to take action and personal responsibility.
26
27
Great Recession further exacerbated the wealth gap as Blacks and Latinos disproportionally impacted by the bursting of the housing bubble. Between 2007 and 2010, the average Black and Latino households lost three and four times more wealth, respectively, than the average White household.
28
Extrapolating from past trends, we can estimate what the future of wealth inequality will look like in this country. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good.

Multi Unit Strategy How to buy a 4 Unit Property as FTHB 32
Multi Unit Strategy As housing prices have begun to stabilize in most parts of the country and home sales are on the rise, it’s an indication that the housing market is indeed in the “thaw” stage and on the road to recovery. Likewise, demand for rental property is on the rise. Housing demand has also allowed landlords to demand higher rents. The combination of low rates and higher available rent means it’s possible that part or all of your mortgage payment can be paid for by a renter. How can this happen?
Purchase a Four Unit Property Live in One Unit and Rent out the Other Three Units 34
Down Payments less than 20% on 2-4 Unit Properties Don’t have a 20% down payment? FHA loans require only 3.5% down on 2-4 unit properties. If you are eligible for a VA home loan, you may qualify for a zero-down loan of up to $1 million in some areas. Conventional loan requires a higher down payment amount: 2-unit: 15% down payment required 3-unit: 25% down payment required 4-unit: 25% down payment required
Multi-Plex Loan Limits Conventional and Government loans allow higher maximum loan amounts when buying a 2-4 unit property. Multi-unit homes tend to be more expensive than 1-unit homes, so lending agencies take this into account when setting loan limits.
Multi-Plex Loan Limits For example, High Balance Conventional & Gov. loans in Orange County, California allow a loan of up to $636,150 on a singlefamily home, but up to $1,223,475 on a 4-unit property. As of 3/2 there were 68 2 unit properties for sale in Orange County. San Diego, Contra Costa, Alameda, San Franciso. Add the HUD Limit Work Sheets

HOW TO QUALIFY TO BUY 4 UNITS The Power of Four Program 48
The Power Of Four Program Purpose of the Program • The Power of Four Program provides two objectives: • 1. Provide financing to families and individuals who want to share the expense of a mortgage with other families or tenants so they can eliminate a mortgage payment completely. • 2. Provide assistance to families who have the resources for the down payment but not the closing costs or reserve requirements. What the Program provides • The Power of Four Program offers financing on FHA, USDA and VA Loans designed to increase homeownership opportunities to low-to-moderate income individuals and families in CA and eliminate burden of the mortgage payment or share the cost of the mortgage to significant decrease it. 49
Why We Need The Power of Four Now! • • • • • • •
State DAP programs, County and City DAPs do not support 4 unit transactions. Low inventory – Higher prices require more money & lack of affordability Sellers market – Higher prices and zero to limited seller credit Less competition in many areas and easier to buy. Faster Appreciation of value and annual increases in rent. Family’s are able to pool their money and have a unit of their own. 3.5% down payment – the lowest down payment in the industry for investment properties. 50
The “Power of Four Program” Highlights
51
The Power of Four Program The program is 1st Mortgage Loan with a Minimum Required Down Payment for the following loans: FHA 203k and 203B: 3.5% VA: Zero Down Down Payment can come from the following sources: • Down payment: Gift from Family Member • Closing costs & Prepaid item(s): Taxes, Hazard Ins., Mortgage Ins., • The seller can pay the closing up to 6% • Earnest money: Gift from Family Member • Cost paid outside of escrow: Appraisal, Inspection, Credit 52
THE POWER IS NOW MORTGAGE SERVICES • The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was created as part of the National Housing Act of 1934 in response to the struggling housing industry following the Great Depression. • Before its creation, only 40% of Americans were homeowners. This low homeownership rate was largely due to the limited short-term financing available, • Most loans were offered with three to five-year payment plans and required large down payments often consisting of 50% of the purchase price. • Only the very wealthy were able to purchase a home.
•
THE POWER IS NOW MORTGAGE SERVICES • The FHA's ability to assume the lender's risk allowed home loans to be spread out over longer terms, resulting lower monthly payments and greater access to mortgage funds. • The FHA established two mortgage insurance programs; one for one-to-four-unit single-family residences (SFRs) and one for multifamily housing units. In 1965, the FHA became part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
•
THE POWER IS NOW MORTGAGE SERVICES • The FHA is a government agency, however its funding is self-generated. It has insured over 34 million home mortgages and over 47,000 multifamily projects since its inception. • Mortgage Insurance premiums fund the program

VA Loan Limits • VA does not set a cap on how much you can borrow to finance your home. • The loan limits are the amount a qualified Veteran with full entitlement may be able to borrow without making a downpayment and vary by county, since the value of a house depends in part on its location. • The basic entitlement available to each eligible Veteran is $36,000.
