Compassionate Capitalism – Tapping into a $1T Real Estate Opportunity that Streamlines Homeownership
Non-profit Housing Providers control more than 5,200,000 residential units, with an estimated market value of $1,000,000,000,000. (That’s roughly 1 out of 9 apartment units in the US). StaterHome.Fund has developed the blueprint that solves the housing affordability crisis and the down payment dilemma on a national scale.
Topics we will cover:
- The 7,000,000 missing middle housing units
- Lack of Skilled Labor
- Regulatory / Land Use Planning
- Supply chain delays
- Cost of Materials
- Political Will (The ROAD Act does not solve this issue).
- The mechanics of how we buy apartment buildings at $.34 cents on the dollar (routinely) (and how you can do it too)
- The Impact of DoGE on HUD, and the ripple effect on Non-Profit Housing
- Housing and Urban Development’s Annual Budget: $77.3 billion
- 25% Staff Reduction
- Deferred Maintenance across millions of homes
- Mass Foreclosures across the sector
- How we built a collaborative network of Non-Profit Housing Providers
- Two Sides of the Process
- Supply (Helping us buy assets to “condoize”)
- Demand (Helping to sell individual condos to the end buyer)
