SwapRentSM with its embedded consumer financial products was not
created just for foreclosures prevention. It also helps improve the
existing low income family housing as well as the first time home
buyers assistance programs due to its unique ability to offer
alternative true housing affordability through an improved
methodology of the conventional shared appreciation concept. There
are many other applications as well. For more detailed research
information on broader application opportunities please visit http://www.SwapRent.com web site.
What this means is that many responsible low income families or first
time home buyers could easily step in and purchase those already foreclosed properties with the help of the SwapRentSM program
through the city and county governments. When the local tax payer's
funds or federal grants are not sufficient to affect this object of
increasing local home ownership, the SwapRent program will be the
great way to channel fresh new money from institutional and other
types of both domestic and foreign investors to the local economy.
The bottom line is that the cities and counties will get to avoid
many more empty boarded homes in their local neighborhoods and create
many more new job opportunities for its citizens.
The SwapRentSM based solution is endorsed and recommended by
leading "housing study academics" (hyperlinked to news, press and
blogs page) and many authoritative prominent public figures. There
are also many public opinions and reviews on its usefulness through
the various economic blogs on SwapRentSM.
Mortgage brokers and real estate brokers would also be able to derive
income through the new local job opportunities created throughout the
nation by this new effort. These new job opportunities are as
important as helping homeowners hold on to their homes for our
economy to stay healthy and for our nation to avoid potential
associated social problems.
This could also be a good opportunity for many public state and local
pension funds to get involved to act as the initial "economic
landlord" investors to provide the homeowners with the necessary fair
and equitable monthly subsidies in order for them to hold on to their
homes by acting as the "economic tenants" of their own homes. This
would not only help the residents and the local economy of the cities
and counties but also could fit very well with the pension funds' own
normal financing/investment objectives. Residential real estate
investment such as single family houses has never been available as
an asset class for institutional investors in the past due to various
logistic problems until the advantages offered by the SwapRentSM
contracts become a reality. By adding the residential real estate
exposures in their long term investment portfolios it will enjoy even
more risk diversification benefits. Therefore the benefits are
mutual. The investors will not be asked to do homeowners a favor. The
transparent market pricing provided by REIDeX will ensure that this
would be a bona fide free market based solution, not tainted by a taxpayers bailout or even an unnecessary charity image.
