"Upset at the disrespect African American homeowners in New Orleans received and continue to receive inspired me to create this information site. Instead of hoping it never happens again, I vowed to do something, says publisher Roy Primm.
The website addresses hard-hitting issues most housing and real estate related websites overlook, ignore or neglect. For example,
* Home loans African Americans should stay away from - and why lenders love to push them.
* Why African Americans pay the most for home improvements (Based on H.U.D study).
* What to do when falling behind on a mortgage payment.
* Why predatory lenders target African Americans the most (Based on H.U.D research).
* Moving on up? What to do if you're the first Black to move into a White neighborhood.
* Secrets to selling your home in a high crime neighborhood.
* How to increase the value of your home in a high crime neighborhood.
* Why more white people are quietly moving back to the inner city.

Blackhomeownernews.com helps to address these issues and fill the widening information gap left open by other real estate and government housing websites.
The website has recently added a video section where readers can watch homeowner educational videos. For example, predatory lending dangers, home repair tips and first time home buyer information, plus other related videos.
Readers can also receive the free Black Homeowner newsletter in their email box each week with the latest updates, how-to articles and scam alerts.
Information is the key to increasing homeownership and making ownership less stressful for African Americans. With rising home costs, the doors are closing to many African Americans ever owning a home - unless the information gap narrows. The challenge is to keep the information fresh and relevant. We fully expect to meet the challenge, says Primm.
