Homeownership is an important part of economically empowering people. Even though efforts have been made to level the playing field, underserved communities still face significant barriers in the buying market. 

Equal access alone doesn't translate into equal opportunity, especially when race, religious beliefs, and language continue to influence the experiences of potential buyers. 

This means marginalized communities remain on the sidelines, lacking the right tools and education to confidently step into ownership.

What can be done to help people in these communities prepare to buy? What tools can we use for education when it comes to credit and buying? Can we leverage AI to translate to all potential buyers?

CEO of Home Lending Pal, Bryan Young joins me to talk about the struggles underserved communities face when it comes to home-buying and how we can solve them. 

Equal access doesn’t necessarily mean equal opportunity. -Bryan Young
