What to Expect
The time for taking action towards building Black wealth is here! The collaboration involves NAREB alongside various community organizations, aiming to bridge the wealth gap in America. The HUD-approved NID Housing Counseling Agency will offer vital housing counseling services and financial advice throughout the day.
The need for such an initiative is pressing, as mortgage applications among Black communities have declined significantly due to economic challenges. Despite having mortgage-ready individuals in the community, there remains a gap in obtaining mortgages. The NAREB Building Black Wealth Tour addresses this concern with a lively and educational experience in Atlanta.
Participants can expect engaging discussions and practical advice from experts in real estate, financial planning, and legal matters. Attendees will gain insights into homebuying, investing, and leveraging assets for future generations.
