NS Capital Management helping families get back into wealth-building game
Neighborhood stabilization and homeowner retention have been strengthened with investment fund Neighborhood Stabilization Capital Management (NS Capital). NS Capital is comprised of individuals from public, private and non-profit sectors whose purpose is to acquire real estate and mortgage-related debt. NS Capital sees the aftermath of the 2007 housing correction evolving to where families and the economy could be impacted for generations. Because of institutional investing and tight credit boxes, some of the middle-class and low-income families are being excluded from the opportunity to participate in wealth-building via home price appreciation; NS Capital is committed to helping these families by creating portfolio loan products and helping them get back into homeownership.
NS Capital is majority owned by Washington, DC-based non-profit, The Home Preservation Exchange (HPE). The HPE serves as the strategic bridge between private, non-profit and public entities in jump starting neighborhood stabilization. Aggregating investor and state participation to bid on FHA-sold pooled notes, HPE allows pre-vetted investors to access notes that meet specific criteria.
