Kam's Purpose/Objectives

Kameron Kang is committed to making homeownership more affordable through several key strategies:
1. Incremental Development:

Kameron advocates for small-scale, infill development within existing neighborhoods. He believes that by promoting the construction of diverse housing types, such as duplexes, triplexes, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), communities can increase housing supply without the need for large-scale projects.

2. Financial Resilience:

Kameron emphasizes the importance of long-term financial health for cities and towns. He supports more compact, mixed-use development, which can reduce the costs associated with infrastructure and services, ultimately making housing more affordable in the long run.

3. Zoning Reform:

A strong proponent of eliminating exclusionary zoning, Kameron pushes for zoning reforms that allow more flexible land use. He advocates for removing single-family zoning restrictions to encourage mixed-use and higher-density housing, helping communities meet the growing demand for affordable housing.

4. Local Empowerment:

Kameron believes in a bottom-up approach to development. He encourages local decision-making and community involvement, ensuring that solutions are tailored to the unique needs and strengths of each community, rather than being imposed from the top down.

5. Prioritizing Maintenance Over Expansion:

Kameron advocates for maintaining existing infrastructure instead of constantly expanding it. He believes that focusing on improving what already exists can prevent the financial drain of sprawl and support more sustainable, compact growth patterns.

6. Encouraging Mixed-Use Development:

Kameron promotes diverse, walkable neighborhoods through mixed-use development. By integrating residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, he aims to create vibrant communities that reduce transportation costs for residents and enhance overall quality of life.

7. Supporting Economic Diversity:

Kameron is committed to affordable housing that includes economic opportunities. He emphasizes the importance of creating diverse, mixed-income neighborhoods, which he believes are more resilient and better able to withstand economic downturns.
Kameron Kang is dedicated to making homeownership possible for everyone, regardless of where they are, their family background, their occupation, or any other barriers that might stand in their way. He believes that everyone deserves the opportunity to own a home and has developed several key initiatives to make this vision a reality:
1. HomebuyerWallet.com:

Through HomebuyerWallet.com, Kameron’s platform empowers individuals to quickly and easily search for community home investment programs. No matter their location or background, users can connect with the financial resources they need to make homeownership attainable.

2. Connecting with Trusted Local Lenders:

Kameron ensures that all community members, regardless of their work or personal circumstances, are connected with trusted local lenders. These lenders not only empower people to make informed choices but also provide custom plans tailored to their unique situations, guiding them on a clear path to homeownership.

3. Advocating for Program Expansion:

Understanding that one size does not fit all, Kameron actively advocates for the expansion of community home purchase assistance programs. He is committed to ensuring that these programs are accessible to a diverse range of individuals and families, helping more people overcome the obstacles to owning a home.

4. Building a Network of Community Home Advisors:

Kameron is focused on building a network of community home advisors who are dedicated to helping both communities and homebuyers. These advisors will work on the ground, providing personalized guidance and support to ensure that more people have the resources and knowledge needed to navigate the homebuying process successfully.
Kameron Kang believes that a healthy real estate market requires a balanced blend of local lending supported by national frameworks. He advocates for a system where the federal government provides the necessary structure and support, but local lenders make the critical decisions that impact their communities. Currently, too much of the housing lending landscape is controlled at the federal level, leading to a one-size-fits-all approach that doesn’t always meet the unique needs of individual communities. To create financially resilient and strong communities, Kameron believes that local lenders must be empowered with the tools, resources, and infrastructure needed to serve their clients effectively. He argues that those who are directly engaged in their communities can make a more significant impact than those operating from far away.
How:
1. Providing Tools and Technology:

Kameron is committed to equipping local lenders with the tools and technology they need to succeed. By offering advanced resources, these lenders can better serve their communities and compete effectively in the market.

2. Promoting and Empowering Local Lenders:

Kameron believes in promoting and empowering local lenders, recognizing the true impact they can have on their communities. By highlighting their importance, he aims to strengthen the role of local lenders in the real estate market.

3. Creating Awareness and Access to Capital:

To help local lenders compete with large-scale internet lenders, Kameron focuses on creating awareness and providing access to capital through lending warehouses and other financial resources. This will enable local lenders to offer competitive services while maintaining their community focus.

4. Increasing Freedom of Choice:

Kameron advocates for giving local lenders more freedom of choice in the types of lending they offer, while still ensuring they receive the necessary support at the federal level. This balance will allow local lenders to tailor their services to the specific needs of their communities, fostering stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.
Kameron Kang is committed to modernizing the residential real estate industry, which for the past 75 years has been dominated by the National Association of Realtors (NAR). In Kameron's view, this organization has accumulated too much power, focusing more on controlling the industry than on benefiting communities across America. He believes their monopolistic influence has stifled technological innovation, slowing progress to protect their own interests. To truly modernize the real estate industry, Kameron advocates for operating outside traditional channels, particularly by decoupling from the National Association of Realtors, to create a more positive impact on communities.
How:
1. Advocating for the Free Flow of Information:

Kameron is a strong proponent of open access to real estate information. He believes that consumers should benefit from all available market data, which should not be hidden behind paywalls. This transparency is crucial for empowering homebuyers and sellers.

2. Creating Additional Information Resources:

Kameron aims to develop resources that provide clear and accessible information about real estate agent compensation and services. By doing so, he seeks to demystify the real estate process, allowing consumers to make more informed decisions.

3. Building Consumer-Centric Platforms:

To put consumers in control, Kameron is focused on creating platforms that empower them throughout the homebuying and selling process. These tools will ensure that consumers have the information and resources they need to navigate the market confidently.

4. Developing Cost-Saving Technologies:

Kameron is dedicated to creating technology and tools that drive down costs, making homeownership more affordable. By challenging antiquated business practices that have been protected by organizations like the NAR, these innovations will lead to a more efficient and consumer-friendly real estate market.
Kameron Kang believes that the future of strong communities across America—and the future of the American people and our country—hinges on our ability to create vibrant local communities centered around Main Street. He sees this as essential for bringing back economic prosperity to towns, communities, and cities nationwide. Over the years, many small business owners, service providers, and owner-operated businesses have disappeared, taking with them the outsized impact they had on the economic vitality of their communities. Kameron is dedicated to reversing this trend and rebuilding local economies.
How:
1. Advocating for Supportive Development Patterns:

Kameron advocates for development patterns that support local businesses and Main Street developments. He emphasizes the importance of creating walkable, accessible spaces that cater to the preferred modes of transportation in the community, whether that be cars, buses, bikes, or other means.

2. Creating Accessible Retail Spaces:

Kameron is focused on developing retail spaces that entry-level business owners can afford to purchase. He believes the current market, dominated by large, risky retail spaces, is inhospitable to startup businesses. By promoting smaller, more diversified real estate options, he aims to foster an environment where local businesses can thrive.

3. Advocating for Grants and Funding:

To help local business owners establish a foothold in their communities, Kameron advocates for grants and funding options that enable them to acquire real estate. This support will allow them to build lasting businesses that contribute to the long-term vitality of their towns and cities.

4. Building a Community of Support:

Kameron is dedicated to building a supportive community of professionals and advocates who are focused on revitalizing Main Street and local businesses. He encourages individuals to spend their money locally, supporting businesses that reinvest in the community rather than large corporations that siphon money out.

5. Advising and Consulting for Small Business Development:

Kameron offers his expertise to advise, advocate, and consult for companies that are developing tools and technologies to benefit small business owners. His goal is to provide these entrepreneurs with the same tools and resources that big companies have, enabling them to better serve their communities and, in doing so, build stronger, more resilient American towns, communities, and the country as a whole—from the ground up.
