RETURN OF AMERIDREAM

I just got the following email about AmeriDream and there persuit of Down Payment Assistance. This program was eliminated through political powers due to a desire to shift blame from those perpetrating fraud, to those who where defrauded. It is shocking to see how the the press and political groups can sway the public from the truth. Let's stop pointing fingers and fix the problem.
AmeriDream is good for America!

Just my opinion...Jeff Cameron

Here is the email:

AmeriDream: U.S. housing market needs downpayment assistance

GAITHERSBURG , MD – With home prices falling nearly 20% in the 1st quarter of 2009, Ann Ashburn, President of AmeriDream, today outlined four reasons why the U.S. economy and the next generation of homeowners would benefit from downpayment assistance funded in part by sellers (DPA). Congress is currently considering H.R. 600, bipartisan legislation that would make DPA an allowable gift source for creditworthy borrowers of Federal Housing Administration loans.

“AmeriDream continues to provide full support to H.R. 600, which will stabilize home values, protect taxpayers, encourage responsible homeownership, and create jobs,” said Ashburn. “These are four compelling reasons to make DPA an important part of our national economic recovery strategy. AmeriDream will continue with the critical outreach and education efforts necessary to make a responsible DPA program available to qualified homebuyers.”

Stabilize home values: DPA can help stop the downward spiral in home values across the country by encouraging qualified homebuyers with FHA loans to enter the housing market. An estimated 300,000 homebuyers are eliminated from the housing market every year without DPA programs in place.

Protect taxpayers: H.R. 600 allows private partnerships between sellers and non-profits to provide downpayment gifts to qualified homebuyers at no cost to the taxpayer. That makes H.R. 600 a fiscally responsible alternative to government-subsidized downpayment assistance programs being considered by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development.

Encourage responsible homeownership: H.R. 600 will enable 300,000 additional families and individuals – all qualified and approved for FHA loans – to become homeowners each year. The bill also requires that DPA recipients be offered homebuyer education courses to help them understand the financial responsibilities of homeownership. Lastly, H.R. 600 implements tougher credit requirements for DPA recipients, strict FHA underwriting guidelines, and stiff penalties for improper home appraisals.

Create jobs: DPA will create 235,000 jobs, generate over $4 billion annually in local and state revenues, and provide $2 billion annually in private capital for sustainable homeownership. DPA’s absence prompts fewer home sales, lower home values, more foreclosures, job losses, and lower revenues for cash-strapped local governments. H.R. 600 is a vital mechanism to stabilizing the U.S. housing market.

H.R. 600 is sponsored by Reps. Al Green, Maxine Waters, and Gary Miller. The program would use no tax dollars. A broad coalition of organizations H.R. 600, including the National Association of Homebuilders, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement. Learn more about H.R. 600 at www.ameridream.org.

BACKGROUND: AmeriDream, a 501(c)(3) charity, was established in 1999 to provide housing-related programs to low and moderate income individuals and families. AmeriDream provides a wide range of programs, including homebuyer education, loss mitigation counseling, community development, and privately-funded down payment assistance. These programs are provided at no cost to the taxpayer. AmeriDream not only seeks to help families purchase homes, but also provide them with the education and other resources needed to be responsible homeowners.

ZILLOW'S ZESTIMATE

I just watched the video out by Zillow defending and explaining their zestimate. Not bad, it makes sense. But even Zillow says their Zestimate is questionable and that a Realtor should be sought out for better valuations.


Here is the link to their video:
