Creating Intergenerational Wealth Through Homeownership
Homeownership is the American dream, and here at NPHS we offer many resources to help make that dream become a reality. Homeownership is a big step in life and also one of the largest investments and can lead to improved financial wellness and sustainability down the line. One of the big advantages of owning a home is an increase of intergenerational wealth, and increasing the financial security of your future. Imagine a young family that has just enough cash saved up to get a mortgage. As they build equity in their home over the years, they can borrow against that wealth to weather financial emergencies—a car breakdown, a medical crisis, or whatever it may be. By the time their child is ready to go to college, they can afford to send them off—likely adding hundreds of thousands of dollars to their lifetime earnings and launching them into an adult life debt-free.
