[34]
below in the comment section i would
[36]
appreciate that
[38]
all right in today's video we're going
[40]
to be discussing four key terms that you
[42]
have to know for your real estate
[44]
licensing exam the first one is
[46]
redlining what is redlining well
[49]
redlining comes from what we call the
[51]
home mortgage
[52]
disclosure act of 1975. now as i said in
[55]
a previous video
[58]
it's very important because the you have
[60]
to know the dates of these laws because
[62]
the the real estate licensing exam
[64]
loves to ask when certain laws were
[66]
enacted
[67]
so the home mortgage disclosure act was
[69]
enacted in 1975 so
[72]
there's a there is a a possibility that
[74]
that question can be on your licensing
[76]
exam number two the home mortgage
[78]
disclosure act created
[80]
uh a situation where redlining was
[83]
declared
[84]
discriminatory in nature therefore it's
[86]
illegal now what is redlining
[88]
well the best way to describe it is
[91]
you would walk into a bank prior to this
[94]
law
[94]
and they would actually have a map on
[96]
the wall of the bank
[98]
and there would be certain areas of town
[101]
that literally someone took a red marker
[104]
and
[104]
outlined that area in that red marker
[108]
and within that area the bank would not
[110]
provide
[111]
home loans to to residents within that
[114]
area
[115]
and and what ended up happening is those
[117]
redlined areas were
[119]
high high-density population minority
[122]
groups like african-americans latinos
[124]
etc
[125]
and so it was discriminatory practice
[127]
that was legal
[128]
and was done all the time by lenders
[131]
until
[132]
the home mortgage disclosure act was
[134]
passed in 1975 and made it
[137]
illegal now the second key fair housing
[141]
real estate term you have to know is
[142]
what's called blockbusting
[144]
now blockbusting is the practice of
[146]
persuading a homeowner to sell
[148]
their property and sell their property
[151]
cheaply
[153]
all right because the fear of minority
[156]
groups coming
[157]
into the neighborhood or being in a
[159]
nearby neighborhood
[161]
and so essentially what would happen is
[164]
i would go knock on the door
[165]
of a seller in a particular particular
[168]
neighborhood
[169]
and i would say hey next door the
[171]
neighborhood next door has a lot of
[173]
african-americans latinos whatever the
[175]
case may be
[176]
and they're starting to infiltrate into
[178]
your neighborhood
[179]
and it's gonna basically crash your
[182]
market
[183]
here your market values so i'll tell you
[185]
what
[186]
be let's let's get you out of your home
[189]
before that happens so i would offer to
[192]
buy their
[192]
their property cheap and then as soon as
[195]
i closed i would turn around and sell it
[197]
for a higher price and therefore i would
[200]
make a profit so the key
[201]
to remember to blockbusting is number
[204]
one
[205]
i buy the property cheaper and then sell
[207]
it for a proper
[208]
a profit at a higher price that is the
[211]
key
[212]
to uh blockbusting now the third fair
[216]
housing term that we have to know for
[218]
the real estate licensing exam is what's
[220]
called panic pedaling now it looks
[222]
somewhat like blockbusting but there are
[224]
some
[225]
distinct differences remember
[227]
blockbusting is
[228]
telling people minorities are moving in
[231]
then i buy the property cheap
[233]
and then sell it for or resell it for a
[236]
higher price therefore making a profit
[239]
now panic pellet pedaling is where i the
[242]
agent i would go to a homeowner knock on
[244]
the door and say hey by the way
[246]
uh just fyi there's a lot of minorities
[249]
moving into this neighborhood or another
[251]
one that was used a lot is
[253]
there's low-income housing coming into
[255]
this neighborhood
[256]
and and the residents of those
[258]
low-income housing
[260]
units are minorities and if you don't
[263]
move
[263]
soon your property values are going to
[266]
plummet because of that so
[268]
let's get your property listed for sale
[270]
let's sell it let's get you out of this
[272]
neighborhood before
[274]
you lose your equity when the market
[276]
values
[277]
tank that is panic pedaling we are
[280]
we are inducing that homeowner through
[283]
panic
[285]
that uh to sell their home and oh by the
[288]
way i'm a licensed real estate
[289]
professional and i can help you do that
[291]
that is
[292]
panic pedaling now the fourth and final
[295]
key fair housing term you have to know
[297]
is called
[298]
steering and steering is not really
[301]
uncommon because steering is a situation
[304]
that happens
[305]
unintentionally and many times steering
[307]
happens with good intentions but it's
[310]
still illegal and let me give you an
[312]
example of where we would see
[314]
steering in in the sales side of real
[317]
estate so i'm in ohio nebraska
[319]
and statistically according to the
[321]
census the largest
[322]
population density of african americans
[326]
they live north of dodge street in east
[328]
of 120th street
[330]
we call it north omaha that's that's
[333]
just
[333]
factual so let's say that i'm a real
[335]
estate professional and i'm working with
[337]
a
[338]
an an african-american couple they've
[340]
already seen the lender they got great
[342]
credit they qualified
[343]
for 250 000 they have a va loan
[346]
uh they're ready to go they come to me
[348]
and say paul let's
[349]
find me a house so i only show them
[353]
homes
[353]
in north omaha only homes north of dodge
[356]
and east of 120th street
[358]
because i just assume because they're
[361]
african-american
[362]
they're going to want to live in an
[363]
african-american community
[366]
so i assume that is steering
[369]
now the way that we uh we prevent that
[371]
from happening is
[373]
i get the cr i find out what their
[375]
financial situation is how much they can
[377]
afford and what type of loan and then i
[378]
just show them or offered
[380]
i just provide them the list of every
[382]
home in omaha that's for sale
[385]
that uh was within that within the the
[388]
home loan criteria
[389]
and then let them tell me which homes
[392]
individually they want to see
[394]
now where we see steering in the
[396]
property management community is
[398]
let's say for example we have a your
[400]
property manager of a hundred unit
[402]
apartment community and this community
[404]
does have a playground
[406]
and so you have six seven eight you know
[409]
units for rent that are available
[410]
because they're vacant
[412]
and you have a family with children that
[415]
come in
[416]
and and you just assume because this
[418]
family has children they're they're
[420]
going to want to live on the ground
[421]
floor next to
[422]
the playground equipment you just assume
[424]
that that is steering
[426]
you're basically assuming where they
[428]
want to live now
[430]
how do we prevent that you simply say
[432]
here are the 678
[433]
vacancies that we have in the community
[436]
which one do you want to see
[438]
and that's how we we protect ourselves
[440]
from steering when you get into the real
[442]
practitioner of real estate
[444]
we're all about efficiencies anyways so
[447]
assuming anything in this industry is is
[450]
not good
[451]
assuming where someone wants to leave
[453]
assuming that they're going to qualify
[454]
for a loan
[456]
we never assume that let's get them over
[457]
to a lender to to see what they qualify
[460]
for
[461]
if they qualify at all we don't make
[462]
assumptions we
[464]
we do things based on fact all right so
[467]
those are four key real estate terms
[469]
again
[470]
uh steering panic pedaling uh
[474]
block busting and redlining those four
[478]
you have to know commit them to memory
[481]
because there's a high probability
[482]
you're going to have those on
[484]
your real estate licensing exam all
[487]
