I enjoy being part of Latino Focus because it represents a huge advancement movement for the most important acquisition of their lives- a home. This is imperative because it creates generational wealth within our community. In my market, we understand the importance of Latino Focus; it's key to find a lender who understands and appreciates this niche. Hispanics are the strongest and largest sector across the US in regards to homeownership buying power.
