Abandoned Housing - Housing Development (Control & Licensing)

However, hope might be on the horizon for the victims of the mortgage disaster of 2007/2008. Home buyers who were foreclosed upon years ago, or boomerang buyers, are beginning to be eligible to buy homes again. While some feel hope after feeling bamboozled by lenders and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, some feel anxious and fearful of the thought of buying again. Yet there are lessons that have been learned by the mortgage meltdown. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac provided a lesson for the

Being an inter-reliant and intricate process that involves numerous stakeholders from many disciplines each phase of the property development process needs the influence of one or more key stakeholders. These actors include but are not limited to landowners, developers, public sector & government agencies, planners, contractors and financial institutions as a result property development could also be seen as the coordination of these processes, stakeholders and actors. Ultimately not every development is the same and therefore may need different combinations of actors and processes.

Section 52A (2) (b) of the CA, implies prescribed terms, conditions and warranties into the contract. Regulation 8 of the CSOLR directs us to these prescribed warranties in Schedule 3. Clause 1(d) implies a warranty into the contract that other than those disclosed within the contract there is no matter in relation to any building or structure on the land that would justify the making of any upgrading or demolition order or, if there is such a matter, a building certificate has been issued in relation to the building or structure since the matter arose.

In the United States, the lending industry’s lack of aggressive monitoring was a big part of the housing market crash of 2006. The Las Vegas housing market, once a booming industry in 2003 to 2005, is now one of the top 3 cities in foreclosure properties. I sat with Suzanne Pashnick to get her take on what happened, who is to be blamed and what can be done for the city to recover. Suzanne has been in the real estate field since 1995 and began her career in Michigan. In 2005, she moved to Las Vegas and continued her career in real estate and is currently an agent for CENTURY 21 MoneyWorld and remains licensed in Nevada.

To judge the success or failure of Blumberg Apartments, we must first analyze the project as it works to provide good housing. Good housing should not just be regarded as a noun, it should also encompass housing as a verb. The commodity of the house as a shelter is the noun. This commodity should provide a place for redressing. It should hold the essential necessities that make for a comfortable and complete home. A place that balances privacy and social interactions. As a verb, good housing should be a utility that works to enhance one’s life (Turner, 1972). It should be a stepping stone towards opportunity. For Blumberg Apartments in the grand scheme, both of these facets can be regarded as failures. As the housing projects suffered through massive deterioration, it failed as a commodity. Residents described how their housing had “stairwells that reeked of urine and dirty diapers, constantly breaking appliances and elevators, and the frequent sounds of gunshots” (Colaneri, 2016). Furthermore, units were found to not meet minimum size standards and

     The real estate industry is thriving with approximately sixty-eight percent of all Americans being homeowners. With low interest rates, 1st time home buyer down payment assistance programs, and government funded educational opportunities (i.e. the Home Ownership Center of Greater Cincinnati), the real estate and mortgage lending industries will continue to flourish. However, there are some unethical lending practices that are threatening the housing industry as a whole.

They never realized that they were using their home as collateral or that the documents were applications to secure equity loans, line of credits, and modifications. It was proven that many could not read or write. Nevertheless, the banks were able to move forward with the foreclosures and the victims lost their home to either the bank or the contractors. Despite the clear demonstration of criminal activity, no arrests were made and very few consequences directed toward those licensed to uphold the highest standards and to protect the consumer. The fraud and abuse was so widespread throughout the entire real estate industry. Mortgage and real estate brokers, roofers, contractors, surveyors, inspectors, and bankers; there was definitely enough blame to go around.

New Hope Housing likely had strengths related to their employee development program, their effectiveness in housing people in need, and their niche for ensuring individuals who would typically be rejected housing. Some of their weaknesses likely related to their secured funding and current dependence on government funding. Some of their opportunities relate to finding solutions for permanent housing, as this is currently a struggle for the people they serve. Lastly, their threats likely also have to do with their government funding. As budgets change, money is moved around and can impact this organization for the better or for the worse.

Opening a new business, remodeling a house, and buying land could all be exciting opportunities; it creates a chance for an owner to make something their own. It takes time and dedication, trial and error, money and divergent thinking, but in the end of all the sacrifice and dedication, that land, or house becomes everything the owner could have ever wanted and more, because it is their dream and they created it. However, dreams can falter, that owner with the new business believes full heartedly in having a future and a successful business, but over time things change and unfortunately that business that was once strong, now becomes repossessed. That new home has been foreclosed, and that pure land, rich in soil is now sold to a high-end

Rameau provides homes to families by identifying the empty homes that have longest time available before legal repercussions. Rameau essentially creates time for the family to obtain financial stability to move on to a stable (and lawful) living situation. Rameau’s approach is secretive as he calculates the response of the lending agencies and property managers against the benefits to the family and community.

In the Fall of 2012, Avey purchased a small vacant lot adjacent to Plaintiffs at 2816 Westside Lane Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas 76109. (Orig. Pet. 2). Plaintiffs were “extremely upset” to find out before construction began that Avey wanted to build a four-story home next to Plaintiffs’ more traditional, art-deco style home. (Id.). Construction subsequently began in November of 2012. (Id.).

Public housing has the dubious legacy of being one of the biggest, most enduring and farthest-reaching failures in the history of American public policy. High-rise public housing projects like the Robert Taylor Homes and Cabrini-Green have become synonymous with poverty, violence, out-of-wedlock childbirth, welfare dependency, and a myriad of other social ills in the minds of most Americans. Although most have now been demolished, these towering high-rises became looming monuments to this epic policy failure—gargantuan symbols of the demoralizing and debilitating conditions that were forced upon society’s poorest and most vulnerable members.

In September 2003, Mason Sexton, a young, inexperienced developer, was making plans to replace a rooming house he had inherited next to the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville with a new 14-unit, 5-story apartment house. In his attempts to assemble the information, approvals, and resources necessary to go ahead, he runs into many problems associated with the development process. While Sexton is able to carry out most of the conceptual, investigative and planning stages of this development, he runs into many problems because of his inexperience and his initial plan changes over time. He runs into issues obtain financing, has to spend money to obtain a certificate of occupancy, underestimates the

The current real estate crisis that America finds itself in is one of the greatest challenges America has ever faced. America’s troubles are further compounded by increasing unemployment of American citizens and environmental problems like global warming. Solving any one of these problems would be a Herculean task, yet they must each be addressed in order to protect American families from disaster. However, it is possible to find a solution to the problems of the real estate crisis that can also be used to improve the problems of the unemployment and environmental destruction. The first part of the solution involves the United States government purchasing the homes that have been foreclosed and using them to offer temporary housing to
