Panelists discuss the issue as well as the status of new construction, underwater homeowners, and REO disposition strategies and their respective impact on housing inventory. A second panel of executives from up-and-coming lending institutions and industry veterans discuss what their respective companies are doing to foster the growth of Hispanic professionals in the industry.

The panel discloses various initiatives that will be deployed to meet this demand.

General Session 5: Business Opportunity in Mortgage & Business Opportunity in Real Estate
Industry frontrunners from top real estate franchises and mortgage banks discuss business opportunity in the Hispanic homebuyer market at two separate townhall events. NAHREP aims to defy the perception that the Hispanic market is a CRA box to check, and to help companies connect with the fastest growing segment of the population that is ripe for homeownership. The Hispanic market is no longer a niche market but central and core to any company set to grow.

Reyes Award, Congressman Gutiérrez keynotes the Presidential Installation Gala where 2016 NAHREP President and Chicago native, Joe Nery, takes his place at the helm of the association.
