Underwriting Everything: Kurt Nishimura on Deals, the AREAA Mission, and Why Mentorship Actually Pays
K
12:45Kurt NishimuraGUEST
So it's called ARIA, not to be confused with ASRIA, which some people do, but it's the Asian Real Estate Association of America.
K
12:56Kurt NishimuraGUEST
It's a nonprofit to support the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander community because we trail in home ownership from the national average by... over 10%.
K
13:09Kurt NishimuraGUEST
When this organization first started 20 years ago, we actually were close to 20% below the national average.
K
13:17Kurt NishimuraGUEST
And it's really because of education of the community that we've been able to help them because Asians actually put a lot of trust in education of their children and You know, culturally, we're brought up not to take on debt if we can to pay things with cash.
K
13:42Kurt NishimuraGUEST
Well, we've taught people that if you start your home ownership journey early, that forced savings and the tax, you know, savings that you get from the interest write-off, You're a lot better off to get that process started as soon as you can and not wait till you have 30 or 40%.
