- 0:00Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 0:03Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
- 0:07Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 0:55Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I want to start. I want to start with this
- 1:01Speaker 3: Bank of America because that's very controversial. Got a lot
- 1:04Speaker 3: of attention. Shout out to MG the mortgage guy. He
- 1:06Speaker 3: posted it. I reposted it then there's the whole episode
- 1:08Speaker 3: about it, so check that episode out for more context.
- 1:11Speaker 3: But Bank of America launches zero down mortgage program for
- 1:15Speaker 3: black and Hispanic first time home buyers. Do you think
- 1:18Speaker 3: this will be good in the long term for us?
- 1:22Speaker 4: Sore? Harmful?
- 1:22Speaker 3: And let me just say and correct me if I'm wrong,
- 1:24Speaker 3: But I believe it wasn't necessarily for black or brown.
- 1:27Speaker 3: It was just for neighborhoods, and it's for minority people,
- 1:31Speaker 3: but it's more geared towards the actual neighborhoods, which the
- 1:35Speaker 3: neighborhood could be our black and brown neighborhoods, but it's
- 1:38Speaker 3: not necessarily that you have to be black and brown.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Is that correct?
- 1:42Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:42Speaker 5: I think the incentives was to create more first time
- 1:44Speaker 5: home buyers and so some of the barriers that have
- 1:48Speaker 5: been stopping in the black and brown community has been
- 1:50Speaker 5: down payments.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Things like that.
- 1:52Speaker 5: So the program was just for first time home buyers
- 1:56Speaker 5: to try to alleviate the wealth gap. We know that
- 1:58Speaker 5: a lot of the well gap was separate from the
- 2:00Speaker 5: fifties to I mean the forties and fifties to now
- 2:02Speaker 5: because of the equity and homes and home ownership, and
- 2:06Speaker 5: so that was something that we were alienated from even
- 2:08Speaker 5: the effects of it, and felt now today. So this
- 2:10Speaker 5: is like the program's idea was based on that. Now
- 2:13Speaker 5: the location part is like, those are some of the
- 2:15Speaker 5: criteria and so there's a few of them. I'mnna run down,
- 2:19Speaker 5: you know, you want to say something just really quickly.
- 2:22Speaker 5: So it's going to allow first time home buyers to
- 2:23Speaker 5: purchase a home with no down payment, no mortgage insurance,
- 2:26Speaker 5: and zero zero closing costs. But there are some criterias
- 2:29Speaker 5: for it, right, So the first thing is you have
- 2:31Speaker 5: to be credit worthy. There's no specific credit score to
- 2:34Speaker 5: be in the program, but you have to be credit
- 2:36Speaker 5: worthy so that they're gonna look, are you paying your
- 2:38Speaker 5: bills on time? Are you paying your light bill, your
- 2:41Speaker 5: electricity bill? But there's no specific credit sCOD so I know,
- 2:43Speaker 5: like in traditional lending is like yo, you got to
- 2:45Speaker 5: have a five to twenty or you got to have
- 2:47Speaker 5: a six fifty to qualify.
- 2:49Speaker 2: For some programs. So there's no specific score, but you
- 2:51Speaker 2: have to be credit worthy.
- 2:52Speaker 5: The other part is that the elgibility is going to
- 2:55Speaker 5: be based on your income and the location of the property.
- 2:58Speaker 2: So that's where the property that's the party.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Yeah, it depends on where you're going to do it
- 3:02Speaker 5: at and so they're going to use the credit guidelines,
- 3:04Speaker 5: like I said, timely rant, utility bills, phone and auto
- 3:06Speaker 5: insurance payments to determine.
- 3:07Speaker 2: How credit worthy you are.
- 3:09Speaker 5: The other part is that you have to complete right
- 3:11Speaker 5: before you can even be a part or considered. You
- 3:13Speaker 5: have to complete a home buyer certification course provided by
- 3:16Speaker 5: the Bank of America and hud approve of housing counseling
- 3:19Speaker 5: partners before you can even submit for the loan application.
- 3:22Speaker 5: So those are the things that you have to do
- 3:24Speaker 5: and even in order to even be a part of
- 3:26Speaker 5: the program.
- 3:27Speaker 2: So it's got to get everybody to complete information on it.
- 3:31Speaker 6: The parts of it that I do like is that
- 3:33Speaker 6: it is going to give people a chance who may
- 3:36Speaker 6: not have, like you said, have the money for the
- 3:38Speaker 6: down payment to become a home owner.
- 3:41Speaker 2: That part of do like.
- 3:42Speaker 6: A program like this has been done in my hometown
- 3:44Speaker 6: of EA Chicago, Indiana, So that part I'm in love with.
- 3:48Speaker 6: The part that I'm worried about are two things. Number one,
- 3:53Speaker 6: possibility for gentrification. So the credit worthiness part is a
- 3:57Speaker 6: part because if there's no transparent guyes to the consumer
- 4:01Speaker 6: base for what is needed. What if some applicants get
- 4:04Speaker 6: turned down and you're deemed not credit worthy.
- 4:09Speaker 2: But people, let's.
- 4:10Speaker 6: Say California and New York, if our communities don't get
- 4:15Speaker 6: access to these loans and these areas get gentrified at
- 4:18Speaker 6: a faster rate, that is a cause for a concern
- 4:22Speaker 6: for me. And then given that we're in a downturn,
- 4:25Speaker 6: they haven't announced we're officially in a recession.
- 4:29Speaker 2: Twenty three, they probably will.
- 4:31Speaker 6: I don't want in twenty twenty four the housing collapse
- 4:34Speaker 6: to be blamed on us, as it was in two
- 4:36Speaker 6: thousand and seven, in two thousand and eight. Anyone who's
- 4:39Speaker 6: been in the financial industry those for the longest time
- 4:42Speaker 6: that when these mortgages were created, bonded up, they were
- 4:45Speaker 6: using and swap trading and derivatives trading. It was not
- 4:49Speaker 6: the home buyers fought for accepting the loans, because if
- 4:53Speaker 6: you went through underwriting and your loan was accepted, that
- 4:56Speaker 6: is the responsibility of the bank, the underwriting, and the institutions.
- 4:59Speaker 6: But you always need a fall guy in these situations.
- 5:03Speaker 6: So those are my two concerns about it. On a
- 5:05Speaker 6: surface level, I like it, but never historically has most
- 5:09Speaker 6: thanks or institutions ever done something for our communities and
- 5:14Speaker 6: there was not a catch to it. I do like
- 5:16Speaker 6: to think of America as a company. I do like
- 5:18Speaker 6: it as a stock. I do like Brian more than
- 5:20Speaker 6: hand the CEO. He's been fantastic over the last fourteen
- 5:25Speaker 6: fifteen years that he's been in. But those are my
- 5:27Speaker 6: two concerns that I have about the program. I got
- 5:30Speaker 6: two concerns as well too.
- 5:31Speaker 5: So when you hear no, when it says credit worthiness,
- 5:36Speaker 5: I worry about what the interest rate will be, right
- 5:38Speaker 5: because based on your credit score will determine how you
- 5:41Speaker 5: know what the interest rate will be. So when credit
- 5:43Speaker 5: worthiness doesn't really tell me where I'm going to fall
- 5:45Speaker 5: that if I'm in this program, if I'm selected. The
- 5:48Speaker 5: other part is that when you say no down payment,
- 5:50Speaker 5: that just means that the home loan is going to
- 5:52Speaker 5: cover the entire value of the property, right And so
- 5:56Speaker 5: the person that would put twenty percent down, obviously they're
- 5:59Speaker 5: going to have a little or payments. Whereas now if
- 6:01Speaker 5: the entire thing is covered inside the value of the home,
- 6:04Speaker 5: the four hundred thousand dollars home is now going to
- 6:06Speaker 5: cost you maybe five thousand dollars a month to pay
- 6:08Speaker 5: the mortgage. That's tough right now if somebody can trice
- 6:12Speaker 5: are going up while interest rates are going up, which
- 6:15Speaker 5: will lead long term if we can't afford it to
- 6:17Speaker 5: more defaults, right and so like, now, how does that?
- 6:21Speaker 2: How does that affect us long term?
- 6:22Speaker 7: Right?
- 6:22Speaker 2: We default on that home? We were in this program?
- 6:25Speaker 2: Who gets right?
- 6:26Speaker 5: So who gets the opportunity to now see some of
- 6:28Speaker 5: the opportunities of buying these homes? Who are from people
- 6:31Speaker 5: who were wanting in this program? So those are like
- 6:33Speaker 5: two of the things that I'm looking long term. I'm like, yeah,
- 6:36Speaker 5: I kind of need to hear the details, especially on
- 6:38Speaker 5: the interest rate.
- 6:39Speaker 6: And especially if let's say in two or three years,
- 6:42Speaker 6: as a twelve percent default rate in twenty thirty, the
- 6:47Speaker 6: talking point is going to be, well, we tried this
- 6:49Speaker 6: before and it didn't work and it failed. I wish
- 6:52Speaker 6: they would have done this when interest rates were at
- 6:55Speaker 6: zero and then now your mortgage rate was like two
- 6:58Speaker 6: point one percent, two point five percent, even if five
- 7:00Speaker 6: point five most people can't handle it.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Erners, what's up?

- 9:52Speaker 6: If we get back to eight percent like how we
- 9:54Speaker 6: were in two thousand and eight, it is going to
- 9:56Speaker 6: be disastrous, especially with what's the average run price in
- 10:00Speaker 6: New York now forty three hundred in Manhattan. So if
- 10:03Speaker 6: you're getting a house it's nine hundred thousand, it's going
- 10:08Speaker 6: to eat into like forty or fifty percent of your income,
- 10:11Speaker 6: even if you are making mid six figures. I would
- 10:16Speaker 6: say it would have done this sooner, I really do.
- 10:21Speaker 6: I know Matt probably thought I was gonna go crazy,
- 10:22Speaker 6: but try to.
- 10:24Speaker 7: Keep it off.
- 10:25Speaker 6: Well.
- 10:25Speaker 3: They have similar programs. I mean NAKA there's something that
- 10:28Speaker 3: we've covered before. No Mattter has talked about that before,
- 10:31Speaker 3: and that is a program that is actually very similar
- 10:34Speaker 3: to this if you really look at the framework of it.
- 10:38Speaker 3: It's very strenuous as far as to get through the program.
- 10:41Speaker 3: But NAKA is a program that you can actually buy
- 10:45Speaker 3: a home with no no down payment, no closing costs,
- 10:48Speaker 3: no like anything, really and you know your credit's gonna
- 10:52Speaker 3: thing really have to be that great, but you have
- 10:53Speaker 3: to go through like a long list of things, you
- 10:55Speaker 3: have to go through a class, like even a class.
- 10:58Speaker 4: It's very similar to NACA. So it's not something that
- 11:01Speaker 4: I think is.
- 11:04Speaker 3: You know, so much different than what is already kind
- 11:07Speaker 3: of already in place in a lot of different places.
- 11:09Speaker 3: It's just that you know, Bank of America put forth.
- 11:12Speaker 3: That's why it made such attention because obviously that the
- 11:15Speaker 3: second biggest I believe, the second biggest bank in America
- 11:17Speaker 3: outside of Chase. So that's that's real big that Bank
- 11:19Speaker 3: of America did it. But there's already kind of programs
- 11:21Speaker 3: like that in place. But you know it also, Bank
- 11:24Speaker 3: of America had a lot of backlash a few months
- 11:27Speaker 3: ago with a story that came out that we actually
- 11:30Speaker 3: published that point viral where they were declining black people
- 11:35Speaker 3: for refinancing at a much higher rate than they were
- 11:38Speaker 3: declining white people for refinancing. So I don't know, maybe
- 11:42Speaker 3: this is a way to kind of, you know, clean
- 11:45Speaker 3: up some of that that negative publicity that they received.
- 11:51Speaker 4: I don't know, but you know, we'll see.
- 11:53Speaker 3: I think it's always beneficial whenever you can try to
- 11:55Speaker 3: get people in homes. But you know it's also you know,
- 11:59Speaker 3: people have to be ready to be in a home
- 12:01Speaker 3: as well. So you know, it doesn't make any sense
- 12:04Speaker 3: to just get a house and not have any money
- 12:05Speaker 3: because anything can have anything go wrong, and you know,
- 12:09Speaker 3: you don't want to put yourself in a burden where
- 12:12Speaker 3: you have a home and now you're just working just
- 12:16Speaker 3: to pay your mortgage. That's kind of like, you know,
- 12:19Speaker 3: defeating the purpose in a sense, because that's what most
- 12:22Speaker 3: people do. And I spoke about this a few years
- 12:24Speaker 3: ago when we were in LA and I said that
- 12:26Speaker 3: most people, for most people, buying a home is not
- 12:30Speaker 3: the right thing to do. And then people didn't fully
- 12:32Speaker 3: understand what I was saying, but I was saying that,
- 12:35Speaker 3: you know, I was a financial advisor for twelve years,
- 12:37Speaker 3: and I saw where a lot of people would cash
- 12:40Speaker 3: out there for to one ks, they would liquid date
- 12:43Speaker 3: their savings account. They would take all the money that
- 12:46Speaker 3: they had and to buy a home, and they think
- 12:49Speaker 3: that they're doing something beneficial, but in reality, you don't
- 12:52Speaker 3: have enough money to buy the home, so now you're
- 12:55Speaker 3: just struggling just to make ends meet. You depleted all
- 12:57Speaker 3: your investment, all your savings and now every single month
- 13:01Speaker 3: you're working just to maintain that mortgage and to pay
- 13:05Speaker 3: the taxes and keep the upkeeper on the house. That's
- 13:08Speaker 3: not a path to wealth. Yeah, of course the home
- 13:11Speaker 3: will probably appreciate over the course of time, but I.
- 13:13Speaker 4: Mean hopefully the right area. And you know.
- 13:17Speaker 3: In all reality, in that situation, it probably would have
- 13:19Speaker 3: been more beneficial to rent and use that money to invest,
- 13:24Speaker 3: use that money to start a business and have more
- 13:26Speaker 3: wiggle rooms. So that's a more advanced conversation that we
- 13:29Speaker 3: can have down the line if people are interested in it.
- 13:31Speaker 4: But everybody's situation is different. But don't be.
- 13:36Speaker 3: House rich and cash poor, because that's that's not a
- 13:41Speaker 3: recipe to build wealth.
- 13:43Speaker 4: It's not you.
- 13:45Speaker 5: And and of course, now as I'm saying and this,
- 13:48Speaker 5: there's still costs that are associated even if you don't
- 13:50Speaker 5: have the down payment, Like on the writing fees is
- 13:52Speaker 5: still something that you're gonna have to pay for, appraisals
- 13:55Speaker 5: are still something you're gonna have to pay.
- 13:56Speaker 2: For, titles, uh fees.
- 13:58Speaker 5: There's there's still fees associated have in a house outside
- 14:01Speaker 5: of just the down payment and mortgage, I mean the
- 14:03Speaker 5: mortgage insurance.
- 14:04Speaker 2: So it still feeds association.
- 14:06Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, all right, mind goad.
- 14:11Speaker 6: The last point that I want to make into tie
- 14:13Speaker 6: back into what you guys were saying. Houses are a
- 14:16Speaker 6: product of the bank. So just because you own a house,
- 14:21Speaker 6: it does not mean that it is the best investment
- 14:23Speaker 6: for you. Please get it at a great interest rate.
- 14:26Speaker 6: Please get it in an area and which appreciates if
- 14:28Speaker 6: you just need to go to Google or acts next
- 14:31Speaker 6: week on the show, which areas are best for investing,
- 14:33Speaker 6: Because I don't want you guys to hope that your
- 14:35Speaker 6: property value is going to go up and you're in
- 14:37Speaker 6: an area where it does not accrue a lot of
- 14:39Speaker 6: growth in the area. But when we talk about the
- 14:43Speaker 6: American dream, the white pick offense it being a good investment,
- 14:47Speaker 6: when that the doctrine was originally written. That was from
- 14:50Speaker 6: the perspective of the bankers who were selling houses and
- 14:53Speaker 6: the mortgages that go with a house is not a
- 14:57Speaker 6: good investment unless you are in the area with the
- 14:59Speaker 6: low value and it grows tremendously, you get it at
- 15:03Speaker 6: a great deal, or you eventually sell at home. So
- 15:05Speaker 6: I don't want you to be deceived by marketing or
- 15:08Speaker 6: propaganda that you should get a home just because so yeah,
- 15:12Speaker 6: thank you for pointing that out shot.
- 15:14Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with renting. Yeah, I rented it for years,
- 15:20Speaker 3: not because I had to, because I wasn't in a
- 15:23Speaker 3: hurry to not rent.
- 15:24Speaker 4: It's better than the capital.
- 15:25Speaker 6: Put it elsewhere.
- 15:27Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, and it could be a write off for
- 15:30Speaker 3: your business as well. That's another conversation my graduates from
- 15:37Speaker 3: my school being forced back drop drop, Mike, drop drop.
