We've all heard the phrase “rent money is dead money,” right? But is it really? As property prices surge and affordability challenges mount—especially for younger Australians—a growing number of people are turning to an alternative path: rentvesting.

In today's episode I'm joined once again by Stuart Wemyss to explore this in depth.

Homeownership remains a strong aspiration for many Canadians despite affordability challenges. A Habitat for Humanity/Deloitte study shows significant benefits of ownership versus renting, including income growth and improved health outcomes. Yet, Canada's homeownership rate dropped from 69% (2011) to 66.5% (2021), with young adults particularly affected. Strong Desire Despite Challenges: 84% of young Canadians (18-38) believe homeownership is worthwhile despite affordability issues. Measurable Benefits: Homeowners experienced 28% higher incomes than comparable renters, with 73% reporting better physical health. Declining Accessibility: Homeownership among 25-29 year-olds fell from 44% to 36.5% over a decade.

While homeownership is often viewed as a pathway to building wealth, a range of challenges can hinder its effectiveness, particularly for specific groups. These include financial burdens such as rising property taxes and ongoing maintenance costs, neighborhood-based appraisal disparities, and the need to meet family responsibilities. While increasing homeownership is critical to the region's economic health, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to increasing homeownership in disinvested communities. In this episode of Trust Talks, host Matt Shomo, program manager for Homeownership & Home Equity at The Chicago Community Trust, is joined by Noreen Sugrue, research fellow at the Latino Policy Forum; Meegan Dugan Adell, director of New America Chicago; and Paul Hawkinson, co-founder of Transform Capital. Together, they examine some of the unique challenges homeowners in underinvested communities in the Chicago area face in converting homeownership into wealth.This episode was produced by Juneteenth Productions and recorded at Little Black Pearl.

Inflation is raising house prices, and lowering its value at the same time. For buyers, the number that ultimately matters is how much they pay for their property.

Join us and be inspired in this replay episode from Women Acquiring Assets, featuring Shanta Patton and her insights emphasized on the critical importance of financial education and empowerment, particularly for women navigating the real estate landscape. She advocates for women to take charge of their financial futures by prioritizing homeownership and understanding the wealth-building potential that comes with it. By sharing her personal experiences, including overcoming challenges like foreclosure, Shanta highlights that setbacks can serve as valuable lessons, encouraging women to view their journeys as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. To foster this empowerment, Shanta encourages women to seek out financial education resources, such as homebuyer education classes, which can provide essential knowledge and skills for making informed decisions. She also emphasizes the importance of building a supportive network, where women can share experiences, resources, and encouragement. By collaborating and uplifting one another, women can create a strong community that fosters financial independence and success. Shanta's call to action is clear: take the first step toward financial empowerment by educating yourself about real estate and homeownership. Engage with local organizations that promote financial literacy and mentorship and actively participate in community initiatives that address basic needs. By doing so, women can not only transform their own lives but also contribute to the broader goal of creating equitable opportunities for future generations.

Your mid-century house, and mine - just like  13 million solid ranches, tidy Levit cottages and charming post and beam homes built across the US between 1945 and 65 - might not strike you as "public housing." But they ARE our country's solution to a housing crisis. Post-war Britain, profoundly affected by the German Blitz and widespread destruction,  embarked on a different path. Their "blitz spirit" of collective sacrifice led to a significant political shift and the creation of a robust welfare state, including a massive program of publicly subsidized housing (often called council housing).  By 1977, nearly half of the British population lived in socially assisted housing, leading to a much less stigmatized view of public housing compared to the US.In Today's Episode You'll Hear:Why the US and the UK took such different post-war housing paths. How these mid-century policy choices are reflected in our current communities. Where we might find opportunities to respond to our current housing crisis in our mid-cenutry neighborhoods.   Get the full show notes with all the trimmings at https://www.midmod-midwest.com/2109.Want us to create your mid-century master plan?
