In this episode of His & Her Money, we talk to a special guest - Rob Rose. However, we’re not talking to Rob about his debt-free journey. Instead, Rob shares an incredible resource available across the country that could provide easier access towards personal and community wealth building through real estate investment. Rob is the executive director of the Cook County Land Bank Authority. A land bank is what the name states - it can bank and hold distressed properties that are either foreclosed or abandoned. Their mission is to make these properties available to potential investors, business owners and homeowners at below-market prices to stabilize neighborhoods through community-based wealth building.    WHAT YOU WILL LEARN The importance of community-based wealth building How to keep wealth within a community About the role of land banks Expectations for property investors Common property investment mistakes   RESOURCES MENTIONED Power Couples University Center for Community Progress Cook County Land Bank Authority   THANKS FOR LISTENING!
