The Dream of Home Ownership Isn’t Dead

Episode 083 of Mortgage Beat

Police Mortgage Loan Officers, Vivian Abraham (NMLS #2451439) and Patrick Doah (NMLS #2025761), stress that while it may be more difficult to buy a property in some cases, the dream of home ownership is still alive and well.

Whether you read financial news or watch business channels, you'll often hear discussions about whether the dream of homeownership is fading. Some say it’s harder to buy a home, others believe renting has become more popular, and there are various reasons for these views. So, is the dream of owning a home dying? Police Mortgage says, “Absolutely not!”

However, buying your first home is definitely more challenging. Reasons include large investment firms purchasing single-family homes to rent out, high prices compared to previous years, and rising monthly lifestyle costs which make saving for a down payment tougher than it was a decade ago.

It all comes back to planning. The earlier you reach out to Police Mortgage, the better. We’ll help you position yourself where you want to be, whether that's six months or a year from now. Early planning makes things much easier when buying your first home.

ABOUT THE HOSTS:

Vivian Abraham

“I have my bachelor’s in business administration and have been involved in the banking industry for over 10 years. During this time, I managed two of the National Police Federal Credit Union locations prior to transitioning to Police Mortgage. I have family members who are police officers with the Chicago Police Department. My work has been very rewarding, and I take pride in having assisted countless members and their families with their financial needs and financial wellness. My hobbies include exploring new restaurants in the city and running for marathons that support pediatric cancer foundations and Chicago Police Memorial Foundation’s Run To Remember. I come from a large family primarily from the south side of Chicago and love to share all the diversity and beauty the city has to offer with my two children.”

Patrick Doah

“I am honored to grow up in a multi-generational family of Chicago Police Officers. I joined Police Mortgage in the summer of 2020 and love the opportunity to help both first-time buyers and repeat clients alike achieve their dreams of purchasing a home. Having been born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago, I happily live in the Lakeview neighborhood today. Along with my two younger sisters, I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a lifelong Chicago Bears fan. I have a strong passion for food and love exploring the vast array of restaurants throughout our city. Nothing makes me happier than spending a summer afternoon on a golf course with family and friends!”
