  • Black Homeownership: Overcoming Barriers in Major U.S. Cities
    Randall highlights that in cities like Detroit and Baltimore, Black homeownership faces "appraisal gaps and limited renovation financing." In Norfolk and Cincinnati, "loan biases" are a challenge. Indianapolis and Chicago require local initiatives. Black buyers are using "pooled community capital and targeted grants" to bridge equity gaps and boost homeownership in underserved neighborhoods.
  • Understanding HELOCs: A Guide to Home Equity Lines of Credit
    Randall explains, “A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) allows homeowners to borrow against their home equity, functioning like a credit card.” Requirements include a 620 credit score, DTI below 43%, and LTV under 85%. Consider risks, as HELOCs are secured by your home, potentially leading to foreclosure if payments are missed.
  • Credit Card Fraud: A Gateway to Identity Theft?
    Randall explains that credit card fraud often results from data breaches or scams, but doesn’t necessarily mean identity theft. "Identity theft involves access to critical details like Social Security numbers." Fraud can occur via phishing, public Wi-Fi, or compromised sites. Protect yourself by monitoring accounts and using two-factor authentication.
