My blog is brief today because I am working with the NAHREP research team to complete the annual State of Hispanic Homeownership Report. The report provides an overview on how Hispanics are faring in terms of homeownership, and reviews various metrics to predict what is likely to happen in the near future. For NAHREP, it is our benchmark report and also serves as a report card for the effectiveness of our work. The good news is that the Hispanic homeownership rate increased for the fifth consecutive year; the only ethnic demographic to have achieved this milestone during the same period. This year’s report will cover more detail about local markets, specifically, where Hispanics are buying homes and the areas where the greatest opportunities exist for future growth. I don’t want to give too much away, but I can tell you that the state of Texas plays a prominent role.
Professional investors know that the best way to make it big is to believe in something that almost everyone disagrees with - and be right. That could be a business idea, an investment opportunity, or a cultural trend.
Next week, I will be speaking at a Hispanic Leadership Summit at the United Nations. I was asked to speak on the topic of Unity. The following is a preview of my speech.
Happy Thanksgiving! The blog will resume on December 8, 2024.
