In this episode of The Foreclosure Fix, DJ Olojo dives deep into the housing plans proposed by Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Both candidates recognize that housing affordability, inflation, and economic disparity are critical issues, but their approaches differ significantly.

Vice President Harris advocates for direct intervention, focusing on tax credits, increased housing units, and rental cost regulation to ease the financial burden on first-time homeowners and renters. In contrast, former President Trump emphasizes deregulation and stimulating the economy through free-market incentives, aiming to make homeownership more attractive by improving overall economic conditions.

DJ explores the strengths and challenges of both strategies, noting that while both candidates have identified the same problems, neither has fully detailed how their plans will be implemented. He also highlights the importance of local politics in shaping housing laws and encourages listeners to stay informed, vote early, and engage with their local representatives to drive change.

The episode concludes with a practical tip for homeowners in foreclosure: the possibility of negotiating mortgage discounts, as DJ shares an inspiring real-life example of a borrower who saved $1,000 by asking for a payoff discount.
