First.. fixing the link, it is

http://www.huduser.org/Publications/PDF/hisp_homeown9.pdf

The server seems iffy.. and the transfer hung and had to be restarted several times. It is running Microsoft-IIS/5.0 on Windows 2000, so don’t expect too much.

As for dependency, or correlation to home ownership, you have to be careful of doing a statistical analysis when all independent variables are not considered. The end result will be a dependent variable, being identified as an independent variable. (dependent=result, independent=causal)

From my personal experience and from the experience of my “parental unit” who used to work as a Mentor Teacher, LA City School District; the single most important variable to the success of the child is parental involvement in the child’s education. The best way to see this is to look at the children of immigrants and ask “Why do some succeed and some do not when coming from the same financial background and often same neighborhoods?” Many of the aspects in parents that give rise to being involved in their child’s growth, also give rise to ‘family trees’ that rapidly pull themselves into better financial condition that also make it easier for them to purchase houses (thereby the home ownership actually being a dependent variable of this characteristic). A converse comparison might be interesting in identifying descendants of homeowners and the ‘better off’, who themselves are no longer better off.

Others important variables are:
*Education level of the parents.
*Willingness of parents to further their education while working.
*Willingness of the parents to learn what their child is learning (if they don’t already), and to tutor the child themselves if necessary – working with the child on their education.

I think the problem is in the confusion of value and worth.

Worth is just simply what something is worth… related to costs and desirability. It is not value.

Value is based upon how much you paid for that unit of ‘worth’. If you paid less than what ‘worth’ was worth.. than you have value in your purchase.. otherwise you wasted money (another asset that has worth.. presently rapidly depreciating at that)

For some reason this is showing up italicized.

Oops sorry.. happens when I type real fast.. I’ll see if I can reach up and fix it. If someone does a reply to a post.. it can no longer be edited.

The italic problem is in the blogging software. If you don’t terminate a format properly.. it carries onto the next post.

If you ask my agent or the listing agent, I am not being flexible enough to bridge a “small” gap to a deal.

The thing about small gaps.. is that they can add up when they occur in succession. Soon you’ll be talking about a large gap from where you were originally. If you ever decide to bridge a ‘small’ gap, first write down what the original position was before you bridge it. Helps one keep an eye on the size of the real gap. Also helps counter the request for you to bridge that “small” gap once more.
