Homeownership is a vital investment in ourselves, our family’s future, and our communities. In order to ensure all Americans can access the dream of homeownership, it is critical to educate first-time buyers and provide additional support in this increasingly challenging market. The American Property Owners Alliance heads to Ohio for a 2 day event series on Homeownership and Generational Wealth.
Our second event takes place on October 26 at The Light Church in Akron, OH and explores the role of homeownership in building and maintaining generational wealth and addressing wealth gaps affecting generations of Black families. We will discuss the unique challenges residents of Akron face on the path to homeownership and steps and tools available to save for a home and ensure families successfully build and maintain wealth for years to come.
The panel features a diverse group of industry professionals, government officials, financial services, and community leaders speaking on the importance of homeownership, creditworthiness, and wealth gaps affecting generations of Black families. They will also discuss the homebuying process including how to save for a down payment, creditworthiness, and questions to raise with real estate agents, lenders, underwriters, inspectors.
