There's a lot of talk going around about stimulus packages being offered to stimulate the economy, with all the promises and hopes of the economy coming back to its norm, there's one aspect that the people of power are overlooking, the real estate market. The foundation for a strong economy boils down to a small amount of factors, and one of the most important factors in the Unites States economy, if not the most important, is the real estate market. The housing crisis that has been haunting the entire nation for some time now has been desperately seeking a solution, a fix to the problem instead of just a band-aid. A lot of dollars are being thrown around to fix roads and rebuild schools, which is great and all, but the real struggle that needs to be addressed is located on every block of every street in this country.Many corporations are seeking financial contribution from the government in order to help them get back on their feet; this comes in the form of a bail out.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, new homeowners John and Jennifer Hall made a smart decision: instead of choosing a risky mortgage scheme from a bank a decision that has been catastrophic for so many of their contemporaries, the couple applied for a loan through the North Carolina State Employees' Credit Union (SECU).The couple did their homework, and concluded that it made better sense to work with a non-profit financial cooperative to purchase their first home. Aside from lower fees and closing costs, SECU did something the others didn't: a credit-union employee sat down with the couple to explain the pros and cons of the various mortgage options. Because credit union employees are non-commissioned, there was no pressure, enabling the couple to see the credit union as a trusted advisor."There are so many young folks who don't realize the advantage of going with a co-op," says John, who believes that all North Carolinians benefit from non-profit financial cooperatives that help to keep other financial institutions in check by ensuring citizens remain eligible for competitive rates and fees. "Being a member can make a tremendous difference in your financial life!"You BelongAre you...more
