Home Buyers Readiness Program

San Antonio, Texas
Paid Permit #1957
Already committed to providing
self-sufficiency opportunities for families
through educational, job training and
employment programs, the San Antonio
Housing Authority (SAHA) has recently
instituted a new venture that is sure to create new clients for REALTORS®. We
often encounter young couples or families
who want a home of their own but are not
quite financially ready for such an
endeavor. The question then is: How can
the real estate industry help working families prepare and get “lender-ready” for a
home purchase?
SAHA’s mission statement is to
provide “…quality affordable housing
that is well integrated into the fabric of
neighborhoods and serves as a foundation
to improve lives and advance resident
independence.” So, in addition to being
the largest landlord in San Antonio,
SAHA is also committed to producing
ownership-savvy home buyers. Partnering
with the City of San Antonio Financial
Empowerment Centers, local lending
partners, and other experts in the housing
industry, SAHA has instituted a new
homebuyer educational program to help
potential home buyers
get “mortgage
ready” in today’s more restrictive lending
environment.
SAHA’s Home Buyer Readiness
Program (HRP) is designed to assist low
to moderate income families achieve their
dream of homeownership by “…helping
them break the cycle of poverty and overcome barriers to self-sufficiency.” Low to
moderate income means the salary range
for a family of two ranging from $24,713
to $37,650 or an income range from
$35,280 to $47,050 for a family of 4.
Down payment and closing cost assistance will be available for those homebuyers who select a SAHA built home and
who are income eligible.
Lori Hall, Assistant Director of
Real Estate and Homeownership at
SAHA, says “Any interested home buyer
can take the class.” The cost for all four
(4) workshops is $40 which includes the
materials, memory stick of resources,
snacks, and day care for kids over 5 years.
The classes are held at SAHA. “At some
point, we may take the classes to the community in various locations around San
Antonio. Every potential home buyer
could benefit from these workshops
regardless of income. This Program is
built to help potential home buyers be successful homeowners for the full term of
their mortgage.”
The Home Buyer Readiness
Program (HRP) consists of four (4) individual workshops that provide in-depth
coverage of topics that include Budgeting
for Homeownership, Impact of a Credit
Score, Calculating an Affordable House
Payment, Selecting the Right Home for
your Family, How to read a Home
Inspection Report, Budgeting for Future
Repairs, Roles of the Realtor and Lender,
Choosing the right Home Warranty and
Home Insurance Policy, and Preparing for
Loan Closing. In the workshops, applicants learn the many advantages of owning a home. They are taught that owning a
home is a wise investment where they can
achieve pride of ownership and a sense of
community while building home equity,
gaining borrowing power and being able
to save money at tax time. They also learn
about the negative impact from missed
payments on their credit cards, etc. and
are exposed to the intricacies of the home
buying process which can be daunting if
one is not prepared for it.
Hall said, “There is a lot of information to share and we don’t want to
overwhelm potential home buyers, so we
parcel it out over 4 workshops. We give
them time to think about the materials and
then follow-up with questions.” Initially,
customers learn about credit scores and
how they affect buying power. Their
assigned
Financial
Empowerment
Counselor helps them examine the budgeting steps that will help them raise their
FICO scores and will also explore how
much of a home they can afford, provided
they follow the plan they establish.
Each participant is given a memory
stick (key) containing resources such as
mortgage calculators, amortization schedules, true costs for a loan package and the
forms they will need during and after the
program to help them keep track of their
progress. The instructors chosen for the
program are well-versed in the subjects
they teach and the materials provided will
stand the students in good stead when they
are ready for that big purchase. The program was initially set-up to run for a total
of 12 hours as the modules were scheduled for three hours per month. “We are
letting the customer drive the agenda for
the workshops and are finding that they
have an appetite for 3.5 to 4 hours per
workshop,” says Hall. “This means they
are getting 12-15 hours of home buyer
education by the time they graduate.”
During the workshops the participants are exposed to local Lenders,
REALTORS®, Home Inspectors, Escrow
Officers and Home Insurance experts. So
in addition to the information about credit
and loans, they will learn how to choose a
lender who is best suited to their needs.
They will find out the role of the REALTOR® in working for them as buyers and
how to also make that selection. They are
exposed to home inspection reports and
taught how to read and interpret them and
how to read and interpret a home insurance declaration page, how to select the
best policy, and how to shop for home
insurance.
The final workshop occurs at graduation (which for this first class will be on
November 1st) where the discussions turn
to what will happen once one does purchase a home. They will explore how
much savings may be needed to assure
they can maintain the home, such as lawn
equipment or necessary interior and exterior repairs. They will be shown the benefits to having a home warranty plan and
home insurance policy, and how to select
both the plan and the company that will
provide it. It is possible that after evaluation of the effectiveness of the program
2
REAL ESTATE NEWSLINE
that a post-home purchase workshop may
be added.
“Graduation from the workshops
will not always be the end of the road for
our customers,” says Hall. The HRP is a
long-term educational project which can
continue for months after the initial four
workshops if the home buyer needs that
time to reach their financial goals.
“Individual home buyers will continue to
meet with their free Financial
Empowerment Counselor, as needed, until
they are mortgage- ready,” says Hall.
Each participant before graduation will
select their own personal “Board of
Directors” comprised of a Financial
Empowerment Center Counselor, a
REALTOR®, Home Inspector, Mortgage
Lender, Homeownership Insurance Co.
Agent
and
SAHA’s
Homebuyer
Counselor. They will meet monthly with
their financial advisor to assess progress
and obtain advice on what comes next.
The other members of their selected
Board are available to answer questions as
they arise.
“We have had very successful
meetings between the City’s Financial
Empowerment Counselors and local
lenders to discuss how to resolve home
buyer’s credit issues in a way that will
support their goal of home ownership,”
says Hall. There are two Financial
Empowerment Centers located in San
Antonio – one is located at The
Neighborhood Place and the other at the
Claude Black Community Center. “This is
a self-directed financial counseling program whereby the individual sets personal
October 15, 2014
goals and then, gets help to achieve those
specific goals whether it is saving money
to buy a house or get an education, car,
etc.”
Down payment and closing costs
assistance for a home purchase may be
available, up to $15,000, for those who
have completed the Home Buyer
Readiness Program provided they purchase one of SAHA’s homes for sale.
Among other requirements for eligibility,
the purchaser must be a U.S. Citizen, a
resident of Bexar County, and a 1st time
homebuyer who is qualified for a
Conventional, VA or FHA mortgage. The
buyer must be able to contribute 1% of the
sales price, $500 of which must be used at
time of contract, and $500 must be in
reserve at time of closing.
Hall said, “We tell our customers
that this Program is designed to help an
individual determine if they are ready to
buy a home. If, at the end of the workshops, they decide not to buy a home, we
congratulate them on making a good personal decision and offer a hug. This
Program is about helping families get
ready for long-term, successful home
ownership. After learning about the language of homebuying, the detailed
process, and the long-term financial commitment, etc., some may choose not to
buy while others may determine that they
need more time to prepare. Both are success stories.”
Over the next three years, SAHA
will be developing single family homes on
both the east and west sides of the city.
On the west side, SAHA plans to construct
new homes in the Blueridge, Sunflower,
Palm Lake, and Villas de Fortuna neighborhood. Forty new homes (40) new
homes will be constructed in the
Blueridge neighborhood located near
Culebra and between NW 26th and 27th
streets. A local architecture, design, and
construction company named WestEast
Design Group has developed six new
floor plans for the Blueridge neighborhood. The homes are expected to range in
cost from $87,000 to $130,000. SAHA
will also be building and rehabilitating
homes on the east side as part of the
CHOICE Neighborhood Grant. San
Antonio Housing Authority (SAHA) won
the $29.7 million U.S. Housing and Urban
Development
(HUD)
Choice
Neighborhood Grant in an effort to revitalize the Wheatley Courts Area of East
San Antonio. Down payment and closing
cost assistance will be provided to eligible
home buyers. Some homes will available
for sale to all interested homebuyers.

close enough for a home purchase and you

with Women's Council's of REALTORS® theme this year - Health,
Wealth, Success and Time for Ourselves.
The balance is a challenge but once all is
in place we can be the most productive
and well rounded individuals in the
industry.
President, Women’s Council of REALTORS
This Fall Has Been Busy
We have had a busy few weeks
with Women's Council. San Antonio was
the host city for the Texas Association of
REALTORS Convention and the Texas
Women's Council of REALTORS®
Convention. Our local chapter hosted a
Margarita Tour to kick off the convention. It was a great success. We had over
50 people on a bus that toured the city to
see what restaurants had the best margaritas. Our guests to the city had a great
time and also enjoyed getting to know
the city and some of its culture. The networking is valuable for referrals.
Everyone knows someone moving to San
Antonio. I personally have received 4
referrals this summer and early fall from
Women's Council of REALTORS®
members from other cities. That is what
the Council is all about, creating leaders
in the industry and also creating a reliable referral system.
Women's Council of REALTORS® is also dedicated to our community.
Tracey
Blackwell,
this
year's Women's Council of REAL-
TORS® Community Service Chair and
her dedicated committee, put on an
incredible event that supported Pets
Alive, “YAPPY HOUR”. The event was
held at the Rolling Oaks Golf Club. The
committee worked hard, and our furry
friends were included in the event. There
were dogs of all kinds, big, little, fluffy,
old, young and most were dolled up.
They had a great time eating treats, doing
an obstacle course and meeting other 4
legged friends. There were vendors that
sold animal goodies, live music by
Clifton Jansky, auction items and once
again a network of successful REALTORS® out to raise money for a great
cause! Tracey and her team raised over
$3000 for Pets Alive. What a great success!
The October luncheon was full of

Industry Sound Off
By Justin Landon,
Govermental Affairs Director
Support Proposition 1
on November 4
There are three things a growing
Texas cannot afford to fall short on: water,
power and roads. Last election, the Texas
voters overwhelmingly approved a
Constitutional Amendment to invest $1
billion in local water systems. This election the Texas legislature is asking the voters to do the same thing for roads.
Proposition 1, if passed, will provide billions in reliable transportation
funding every year—about $1.7 billion
the first year alone. The funds can only be
used for constructing and maintaining
public-access roads. No funding for toll
roads will be provided from monies distributed through Prop 1.
The money will come from the
Economic Stabilization Fund (aka: the
rainy day fund), which is funded primarily by oil and gas tax revenues. With the
boom of oil and gas exploration in the
Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Pass, the
fund is at an all-time high, nearing the
statutory 10 percent of the total general
revenue budget cap.
Today, 25 percent of the oil and gas
tax revenue goes directly to schools, while
the remaining 75 percent goes into the
rainy day fund. Prop 1 would split that 75
percent so that half of it (34.5 percent)
would be diverted for Texas roads, while
the remaining 34.5 percent would continue to bolster an already flush rainy day
fund. In other words, if Prop 1 passes,
Texans will see nearly $2 billion invested
in their roads in 2015 alone without any
new taxes and no new debt. In fact, Prop 1
even requires the Texas Department of
Transportation to identify $100 million of
administrative savings as a way to help
pay off current debt.
Today, Texas roads are funded by
the gasoline tax which is 20 cents per gallon. As fuel economy has improved the
gas tax has been contributing less and less
to the State Highway Fund. To make up
the shortfall the Texas legislature has
diverted funds from other budget priorities
to keep Texas roads safe. Prop 1 is a vital
first step in ending diversions and getting
REAL ESTATE NEWSLINE
Texas back on a sustainable maintenance
and construction schedule.
This election season make the voice
of Texas Real Estate heard loud and clear
with a “Yes” vote for Prop 1. It is neces-
7
sary to sustain the vibrant real estate economy Texas enjoys today. Early voting
opens October 20, with Election Day on
November 4. Visit SABOR.com to find
out where you can cast your vote.
