This in my imo, is the biggest contributor to the wealth disparity.
White people can buy property, have it appreciate in value over their lifetime and leave it to their kids.
But black people have a great challenge doing this because, banks don't finance in black neighborhoods, meaning you can't get that loan to renovate and keep your house is good condition. and even if you did, the bank won't approve the loan for the people trying to buy your house beyond a certain amount, so unless people are paying cash, you are limited in how much you can sell it for.
So you 4 bedroom, 3 bath property might only be worth 200K, whereas a white person with the exactly same type of house, can get 800K for theirs.
This is further exacerbated by zoning and redlining. So a bank doesn't even have to inspect your house to devalue it. They just see your zip code and are like, nah. You could legit be a great neighbor with nice amenties like any gated suburb, and a white guy lving near a trailer park and a highway will still get a higher loan, because the black population on your side of town is higher.
WHAT IS "A LOT OF BLACKS"? "lol"
LOL yall some haters for real.
…from their parent’s homes.
The transfer of wealth to our white millennial counterparts is on the horizon as their parents fade into retirement/grave...right as real estate booms. White lady at my job who can barely put together a coherent sentence in an email just inherited her mother's home. It was worth 400k 5 years ago, she just got it appraised at 800k. I swear this is the silent killer of our people.
These fukking idiots in my family took out a loan after my grandmother died and couldn't pay it back and had to sell the house My grandparents bought this house 10-15 years after they migrated to Cali and they owned a large piece of land around it where my grandmother basically had a little farm of plants, chicken, etc.
Took that money out just to get their drug fix and go on vacations... SMH... [My aunt who lived right next door had a house and property on the other half of this field and fukked it off doing the same thing BTW, but she's a junky... They basically had a whole block they owned and fukked it off to white people... everytime I visit my dad in the central valley, I drive by there to see what these cacs did to that property,... My grandmothers house basically has a damn wooden fortress built around it.
That's not even the worst of it, the property that they inherited in the south somewhere in Mississippi...i, they got duped out of that and got peanuts for it by some big corporation.
Man I wish I could agree but fuk that sh. I’ve seen aunts/mothers burn thru whole inheritances then be like “can’t take it with u”
Families split up over this bc if a person speaks up they just hit u with “all u care about is money”
Had a great-uncle who won a million dollars in a Powerball...family members gambled it all away and lost his home after he passed....
I stand to inherit nothing, family was too dysfunctional to manage finances and sold my Gpop's properties all over Philly for quick cash and didn't even try to rehab them....they would probably be millionaires if they held on to them a little longer....
Smh...
Damn uts good to see some brehs will have an inheritance. My parents don't have anything to pass down, in fact I probably gonna have to find a way to help pay off my moms mortgage which has like 200k to pay off. Don't know anyone that will have an inheritance either from what I know.
There's still gonna be opportunities coming though. I want to invest in retirement homes/villages for example.
This shyt is something that needs to be talked about between our current generation and our parents much earlier.
The fact is Long term care is not cheap in America. If you don't plan to have your folks live with you as they get up there in age or they have no retirement funds to tap into then there needs to be some other realistic plan put in place. Otherwise your folks will have no choice but to basically give up their paid off house as collateral to fund their long term care
Yall brehs are more internet savvy than your folks. The info is out there. Share knowledge with your folks so things don't réach this point.
