WHY THIS SEMINAR? – THE ALARMING NEED
- 71% of renters still believe owning a home is part of the American Dream, but only 36% feel prepared to buy.
- Over 50 million Americans are classified as housing-cost burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on rent.
- Many buyers don’t understand mortgage approval, down payment programs, or post-purchase responsibilities.
- First-generation homebuyers often face the process alone, without guidance, leading to costly mistakes or ineligibility.
- Homeownership remains the #1 path to wealth and legacy—but requires education, preparation, and planning.
