Single Hispanic Women Rise Above Hurdles to Achieve the American Dream

“Hispanics are expected to buy between 1.5 million to 2.2 million homes within the next five years. Within this group, the fastest growing first-time homebuyers are single Latin women. The mantra today is definitely “lo hice a mi manera - I did it my way.” Women feel empowered; they are more educated and very confident.

According to Great Financial Mortgage, Inc. loan specialist, Alejandra Medellin, www.alexmedellinloans.com., who has seen an increase in loan applications from single women, says, “Customarily, Latinas were not as independent nor considered a significant part of the work force as the new Latin woman is in the United States, these days. And traditionally, the thinking was that “a woman’s place is in the home,’ but now - it actually is - especially for single women and in particular, the Hispanic woman.” “
