The HWP was launched by the NAHREP foundation with the aim of tripling Latino household wealth in the next 10 years in response to the dire economic state of Latinos after the housing crisis. &#8220;There is a need for knowledge and discipline around the subject of wealth in our community.&#8221; says Gary Acosta. &#8220;NAHREP believes our members can play an integral part in addressing the wealth gap by applying these principles to their daily lives and spreading the word in their communities.&#8221; The disciplines are as follows:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Have a mature understanding of wealth and prosperity<\/strong> \u2013 because the one with the most toys usually loses<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be in the top 10% of your profession<\/strong> \u2013 because being good is not good enough<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live below your means and be ready for the next recession<\/strong> \u2013 because downturns are a regular part of our economic cycles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Minimize debt<\/strong> \u2013 because it is the biggest enemy to wealth<\/li>\n<li><strong>Invest at least 20% of your income in real estate and stocks<\/strong> \u2013 because they are the best and safest ways to build wealth (investing in other businesses does not count)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know your net worth including the value of your business<\/strong> \u2013 because you cant improve what you don&#8217;t measure<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be politically savvy<\/strong> \u2013 because public policy matters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be physically fit<\/strong> \u2013 because wealth without health is meaningless<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be generous with people who are less fortunate<\/strong> \u2013 because philanthropy feeds your heart and spirit and gives more purpose to your work<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be active in the lives of your family and children<\/strong> \u2013 because familia is central to who we are<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<strong>About NAHREP<\/strong> The National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, a nonprofit 501(c) 6 trade association, is dedicated to advancing sustainable homeownership among Latinos by educating and empowering the real estate professionals who serve them.
