Candidate Bob Olson Tackles
Affordable Housing in Assembly District 17 Clark County, Nevada
Every politician talks about "Affordable Housing", no politician knows how housing works. It's time for fresh thinking and realistic outcomes.
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, August 8, 2024 -- The issue of affordable housing has been a pressing concern for many low-income families in our community. With rising rent prices and financing options being too expensive, finding a safe and affordable place to call home has become increasingly difficult. However, a new solution has emerged that aims to provide hope for those struggling to locate affordable housing.
In the state of Nevada, Assembly District 17 candidate Bob Olson is proposing a new program that is a collaboration between borrowers, federal agencies, and state government with the goal of creating more affordable housing units in the North Las Vegas community. These units will be available at a staggered cost, making the upfront price of the home affordable for those who find owning a home out of reach for their income bracket.
The key to what Bob Olson proposes is to deal with the costs of housing by finding other resources and cost structures to create affordable housing.
The key points of his solution are:
For North Las Vegas Nevada, peg the cost of new affordable single-story home; 1,500 square feet, 2-bedroom, 2-bath with a small garage at $300,000.
Divide the house into thirds: one-third land, one-third being the front of the home, one-third being the back of the home. Assign a value to each third of approximately $100,000.
1. The Bureau of Land Managment will donate the land for free ($100,000).
2. The front of the home ($100,000) will be lent as a ballon payment to the owner with a 0% interest rate from the federal government through a new lending program utilizing the power of HUD (Housing and Urban Development) and the Federal Reserve.
3. The remaining $100,000 will come from a qualified borrower or investor with cash. If it is an investor, there will be a cap on the amount of rent the investor can charge while the property is leveraged under the HUD program. If it is a qualified borrower, then his lender will have a priority lien on the title, and the HUD loan will be a secondary lien.
There will be a requirement to exit the HUD program no later than 15 years. Upon the occurrence of any sale or refinance, the federal government must be paid back the cost of the $100,000 plus 10%. The land is free and can be used as equity in the financing.
All government dollars returned.
Nevada's federal representatives will need to petition HUD to put the ballon financing together for Bob's affordable housing program. Together with Bob Olson in Assembly District 17 the State of Nevada can solve its housing crisis.

I believe that if we set this plan in motion we can get affordable housing working for all Nevada. I have had this out since the 4 August and today Rosen and Brown talk with both sides of their mouths and say nothing.im being nice because if any politician wants to tackle this issue instead of talking out both sides of their mouth. HERES YOUR CHALLENGE COME TALK TO ME AND Barry Lindemann , You have tohave the guts to talking put your ass on the line for the people of Nevada. Bet not one of you will do it. Hey Sam Brown, even Trump has this plan presented to his campaign, what about you. No guts or nor glory, shame to go down in flames.
