Reflecting on the Meaning of Independence Day

As Americans prepare to celebrate the Fourth of July, it is important to reflect on the core values that define our nation: freedom, opportunity, and the pursuit of a better life. These same ideals continue to inspire individuals and families across the country to pursue homeownership, which remains a foundational part of financial independence and long-term security.

Understanding the Basics of Mortgage Securitization

Mortgage securitization is the financial process of pooling together multiple mortgage loans and converting them into tradable investment securities. These securities are then sold to investors in the secondary market. This process provides liquidity to lenders, enabling them to issue more loans and support continued access to home financing.

Established under the National Housing Act, this program makes funding accessible for individuals who may not qualify for traditional home equity loans due to limited equity or lower credit scores.

These differences raise important concerns about equal access to credit and the long-term effects on wealth building, community development, and financial equity in the United States.
