In answering questions from the audience for a videochat dedicated to reforming the mortgage industry, Obama made a mention of immigration reform as " a subject that does not seem to be related, but it is ."
"If we get immigration reform, we suddenly all kinds of families out of the shadows , paying taxes , paying fines, but also most likely buying homes and often in some of the neighborhoods that were more mortgage auction ," said the president during moderate transmission Rascoff Spencer , general manager of the website dedicated to zillow.com selling real estate .
People who legalize with immigration reform " add value to the community , increase the value of the property and that is one reason why it is estimated that immigration reform would bring 3,000 million to the economy, mainly because they would buying houses , "he added .
During his speech yesterday in Phoenix on mortgage industry reform , Obama urged the audience to " encourage Republicans in the House of Representatives to stop dragging its feet ," referring to the reluctance of the Republican majority to debate the bill passed by the Senate in June.
Many Republicans not only disagree with the idea of legalizing people who remain on U.S. soil in violation of immigration laws , but expressed concern that the legalization of 11 million people is likely to accentuate the unemployment rate of 7% currently records the force U.S. labor .
Obama spoke about immigration reform hours after one of the main protagonists in the Senate expressed confidence that a deal can be agreed with the House of Representatives .
" We would much rather the larger project, but we are fine any way in which the House of Representatives passed," said Sen. Chuck Schumer in an interview with CNN. "Things are moving in the right direction."
Proponents of immigration reform plan numerous events during the current electoral districts culminating summer recess the second week of September, with intent to persuade skeptical lawmakers to vote in favor of immigration reform that includes the option of naturalization for undocumented immigrants .
The intervention of Obama followed his speech Tuesday , in which he discussed the need to simplify the current regulations to reduce the frequency with which banks reject loans to families who meet the requirements established by the federal government to obtain an obstacle that plagues especially Hispanics despite signs of recovery recently exhibited by the construction sector .
The insistence of the banks to request a down payment on average 20 % of the total cost of the property is the main obstacle facing Hispanics to take advantage of low interest rates , since it is an unattainable amount for many Hispanic families.
Just 46 % of Hispanics owned housing in 2012 compared to 73 % of Caucasians , according to a recent study by the National Council of La Raza and the Center for American Progress .
The central message of Obama's speech was to bring reform to close the state mortgage banks Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , which the federal government rescued in 2008 by 187,000 million , with the goal of preserving the supply of mortgages to 30 year fixed and avoid creating another housing bubble like the one that sparked the global recession in 2006 interest.
Speaking at Phoenix was part of a series of talks planned for August on economic policy, whose goal is to prepare the ground for negotiations to increase the debt ceiling and the federal funding that will consume Congress when restart its activities in September after a five-week summer recess . Republicans in Congress have publicly disagreed with the plans of the White House in the two cases .
Obama has pronounced economic speeches to air campaign in Tennessee , Florida and Missouri , in which he advocated funding sources for infrastructure, a reduction in the cost of loans for higher education and reform the tax system . The Democratic president has also accused Republicans of not doing enough to support the American middle class.

Real Estate in U.S. growing 10% annually and gets dynamism than a decade
Although there is skepticism about the strength of relaunching , the IMF notes that feed signals optimism. 2013 marked the first promising signs in the U.S. housing market in several years, which has analysts hopeful that a more sustained recovery in that country would finally consolidating sector.
According to the quarterly S & P / Case- Shiller , which considers home sales across the country - to the second quarter of this year prices would already retaking the levels exhibited a decade. So , slowly the lows until early 2012 just forget .
Today, the average values of real estate sales increased 10% from a year ago, but still lie 23 % below the peak reached these assets at the height of his pomp , in the second quarter of 2006.
Everything was subprime
In 2006 , fears of a housing bubble in the United States could be about to burst crashed against the reality that financial markets appeared healthy, with a devastating dynamism.
However, since 2007 , several analyst reports circulated about a category of investments that end up becoming part of the vocabulary of average world : subprime mortgages . Subprime indicating that it was financing packages that combined assets of category "A" with other riskier , but remaining well disguised by the former. These corresponded risky roles , majority interests , mortgage notes to people who borrowed taking advantage of low interest rates in the first half of that decade.
The problem is that many of these new borrowers did not have as large a capacity payment, and given that house prices rose , it was also making the amount of debts. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve began to raise interest rates to control inflation driven by higher consumption.
When it became apparent that there were threats beyond the so-called subprime assets, the fear spread , the value of homes plummeted and borrowers found that their mortgages were worth more than the homes they were paying .
Banks and insurance papers were full of subprime , and attempting to sell out , the market sank further . Investment bank Lehman Brothers could not escape the financial tsunami and announced its bankruptcy on September 15, 2008 , marking the sign of a worse collapse than developed countries still have not recovered.
hope
Today analysts look with greater confidence the rise in real estate assets. " The housing market recovery has been stronger than expected and giving a strong impetus to private domestic demand and economic growth ," said Jarkko Turunen , chief economist of the Western Hemisphere Department of the International Monetary Fund ( IMF).
"With the rise in property prices and the positive effects of public programs of housing finance , now there are fewer homeowners with negative mortgage assets (mortgages ' underwater ' or whose outstanding amount is greater than the value property ) or who are behind in payments, and decreased the number of foreclosures, " he explained.
There are fears , of course , as a rate hike or stop recovery optimism that both inflate a new bubble in the sector.
However, the data show an encouraging picture , with less tendency to foreclosure.
" The steady increase in housing prices is pushing all boats in this real estate market and should include the inventory of homes for sale in the coming months ," said RealtyTrac Vice President Daren Blomquist . RealtyTrac data shows that while 10.7 million owners are very stuck in their mortgages , 8.3 million could be in a position to sell favorably to 2015.

The U.S. housing sector
The real estate sector in the U.S. has been in the spotlight in recent years , first by the mortgage crisis and then by the support of the interventionist policies of the Federal Reserve , via bond purchases, which have led to artificially low rates .
This sector is particularly cyclical, having shock and similar to the evolution of the economy recessionary times. Although, if we briefly jump back in time, we see thanks to low interest rates in mid-2000 began a large residential boom, even in times when the economy went through the best of times , until the outbreak the mortgage crisis and the housing bubble burst .
This industry is divided into residential and commercial services, although some companies involved in both. Both the residential and commercial industry are highly fragmented . In fact, the 50 largest companies in residential buildings make up less than 30% of total industry revenue . Since the collapse of the housing bubble in the U.S. and a high unemployment rate under natural unemployment in the economy, the residential industry suffers the consequences of the past. The commercial segment of the industry was a little better than the residential market since the recession .
There has been talk of recovery in the sector given the rise in housing prices in the U.S. example is the evolution of the SP / Case- Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index rate since mid-2012, although it should be noted that continue a series of conditions negative as :
- The delinquency rate on single-family residential mortgages in the United States remains surprisingly high , ranking second quarter of this year at 9.41% .
- Lowering of consumer confidence indicators . The consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan has dropped to a level not seen since December 2011. (down to 72 in November from 73.2 in October)
- It has not been a widespread buying first homes , but the main buyers were institutional , representing one third of existing sales.
- The next reduction of stimulus by the Federal Reserve will raise rates as mortgages and are already pricing in the currency market will produce the appreciation of the dollar against its major crosses.
After these brief remarks about the conditions of the U.S. real estate industry , we have to analyze the companies that form part of the model EAFI Aspain 11 Financial Advisors portfolio for the Real Estate sector after scoring make America the Stoxx 600 .
Weyerhaeuser Co: is mainly engaged in lumbering and the manufacture , distribution and sale of forest products, real estate development and construction. Therefore, to be a wood products company is a convenient analyze data annually instead of quarterly as they have seasonal component. In October, the company announced third-quarter results exceeding expectations . Thus, sales increased 24 % , the profit up 105.62 % , EBITDA by 62 % and revenues by 99 % during the first 9 months of 2013 year on year .
AvalonBay Communities Inc. : dedicated operating apartment communities institutional quality in markets with high barriers to entry in the U.S.. AvalonBay Communities Inc. in October announced a net attributable loss for the third quarter of $ 10,715,000 . This represents a loss per share of 0.08 . The graph of the evolution of the portfolio we can see great value cut from the presentation of these results.
Riocan Real Estate Investment Trust : is a Canadian trust with a total capitalization of about 13.6 billion at September 30, 2013 . It owns and manages Canada's largest portfolio of shopping centers with ownership interests in a portfolio of 346 commercial properties corresponding to more than 83 million square meters, having properties in the U.S.. In mid-November Riocan announced the distribution of 11.75 cents per share for the month of November. The distribution will be payable on December 6, 2013 to unitholders of the trust .
Public Storage : a background composed and self-managed real estate investment that buys , develops, owns and operates mainly storage areas. In the results presented in November announced that they have increased revenues by 5.5% yoy to 441 million during the third quarter, while operating profit rose 7.2% to 316 million .
SL Green Realty Corp: On October 29 announced a public offering of secured 2,600,000 shares of its common stock , par value 0.01 per share. With this, the company intends to use the proceeds derived therefrom for general corporate purposes , including new investments and payment of outstanding debts.
In conclusion , the sector is subject to the evolution of the U.S. economy, where major constraints come from the hand of macroeconomic variables such as GDP, interest rates , unemployment and infrastructure spending by the State . Undoubtedly, more short-term major determinants or conditions come from the Federal Reserve, because if in the coming months adopts the decision on withdrawal of stimuli involved for the housing sector to the start of the rates artificially low mortgage .

Real estate project seeks to develop the City of Doral
In West Miami-Dade County , taken form a new sophisticated urban center with several towers of luxury condominiums, townhouses, apartments , office buildings , shops , restaurants, a charter school, a public park with a pavilion art and a center of government .
Downtown Doral, a development of 120 acres of Codina Partners, attempts to transform the labor -industrial world Doral a true residential city .
The goal, said Armando Codina , CEO of Codina Partners, is to create a community to " live, work , learn and play " where families can enjoy the fruits of urban life , while spending less for housing than they would in other enclaves of Miami -Dade .
" This is not a project, it is a city," Codina said, sitting in a conference room of a downtown sales center of Doral. The community, which extends between 70 and 87 Avenues Northwest , and from Northwest 54th Street to Trump National Doral Miami, will be created in stages , with the most complete parts in five years, he added .
Downtown Doral is the largest investment ever made by Codina Partners - over $ 1,000 million. It also marks the first project Codina has taken from the beginning to the end with her daughter , Ana -Marie Codina Barlick , 37, who on Saturday was appointed the chief executive of the company.
Codina, 67, a pioneer in South Florida best known for suburban office and industrial park developer , has reshaped much of Miami -Dade for decades. He risked almost 30 years ago in what today is Doral, when he built the Beacon Center . In 2006 , merged his former company, the Codina Group, Florida East Coast Industries, and sold the company in 2007 to Fortress Investment Group, based in New York.
Only left with an asset: the Downtown Doral property.
Jack McCabe, real estate consultant , Codina called " one of the best known and capitalized developers in Florida."
" Undoubtedly, this will be a great benefit to the Doral " McCabe , CEO of McCabe Research & Consulting in Deerfield Beach said.
Downtown Doral , which has been planned for several years, comes to fruition amid a flurry of new residential construction in South Florida. The recession and the recent collapse of the mortgage market are now distant memories simple , while property values rise again - and developers are rushing to bring new projects to the market.
" Undoubtedly, in the last 18 months confidence builders and developers is extremely strong," McCabe said. " The developers expect the positive market conditions to continue for at least five to seven years , and have seen larger developments with thousands of new units - 175 new condo projects with more than 24,000 units in South Florida."
Most of these new projects are located east of I- 95, near the ocean or in downtown Miami. Only a handful have been announced in the suburbs, said Peter Zalewski, principal of Condo Vultures LLC, a real estate consultant .
The basic concept of Downtown Doral will have 2,840 luxury housing units - the vast majority , more than 2,100 condominium units spread over eight or nine towers, each 20 stories up . In addition, the project will have three buildings with 454 apartments to rent them , plus over 90 family houses.
" The Doral has never seen anything like this," Codina said. Residents will also have nearby facilities such as golf at Trump National Doral Miami.
Codina , who has shunned condominium projects in the past, brought to Oswaldo Betancourt in September as executive vice president for development and construction , to oversee the development of condominiums in Downtown Doral. Betancourt was previously vice president in the division of condos Related Group .
For the first and second towers, Codina Partners has hired renowned architects Charles Sieger Miami based and Jose Suarez, Sieger Suarez Architectural Partnership , which designed as luxurious Related projects like Apogee , Murano at Portofino and the Murano Grande in Miami Beach, and St. Regis Resort & Residences in Bal Harbour. The designer Adriana Hoyos creates luxurious interiors and are available fully finished floors , kitchens and bathrooms , to move in immediately.
The pre-construction sales for the first tower opened to the public earlier this month. Construction is scheduled to start in six months, and the building will be ready by the end of 2015.
The condos range from $ 200,000 for one bedroom lower , at $ 600,000 per unit with three bedrooms with a study , and $ 800,000 for a penthouse , Betancourt said. Luxury condominiums are expected to compete with towers in urban areas like Briskell Corridor , but at lower prices . A unit that costs $ 370 per square foot in Downtown Doral could cost between $ 550 and $ 600 per square foot in Brickell, added.
" If a developer is able to achieve more than $ 350 per square foot in Doral, cause a wildfire in the residential condominium in Doral ," Zalewski said.
The Doral, a suburban area / Industrial west of Miami International Airport , has become a center for Venezuelans and other Latin Americans. For those perspectival buyers, as well as other locations that Desen live close to work or family in Doral, affordability will be key , analysts said.
" The price level will be very important," McCabe said. "They will need to have price levels that are affordable for Floridians of the working and middle classes."
Undoubtedly, the volume of day laborers in Doral is huge - more than 150,000 according to the city, and rising. The Doral is home to major employers such as Univision , Carnival Cruise Lines, the Federal Reserve Bank of Miami, the U.S. Southern Command and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida and The Miami Herald. It is the number one warehouse / offices in the region , according to real estate analyst David Dabby , director of Dabby Group Advisors in Coral Gables market.
However, the city says it has a population of just 46,000 and the property is somewhat limited. While there are other planned or under construction residential projects, Codina Partners is by far the most ambitious .
Overall, the Doral area is dominated by single family homes and rental units old , " Zalewski said. " And most of what you see is the beginning of a niche construction condominiums and single-family units , to allow people to enter the market , because the economy is very strong there."
Other projects underway are two residential rental Related Group : Doral View Apartments, a project of 260 units of garden apartments with 14 three-story buildings , and CityPlace Apartments, adjacent to CityPlace Doral , which have more than 330,000 square feet retail sales .
With its central location , Dabby says he expects Downtown Doral " will fill the demand for its residential component ... People do not like to drive , they would be happy to live close to their offices ," he said . " Whenever you get the right price, it's a winner ."
So far , we have booked 42 condominium units in the first tower . The urbanizares are requiring a deposit of 20 percent at contract signing , 20 percent when you start to build , 10 percent when the closure is completed and 50 percent, Betancourt said. The condos are marketed both locally and in Latin America, including Venezuela , Brazil, Mexico and Argentina .
Ingrid Sanchez , a real estate agent in the Keyes Co. Doral, has so far sold 15 units condomino all Venezuelans , who were attracted to the project scope - entertainment, restaurants and schools - as well as price she said.
" It is a new product in Doral ," Sanchez said. "It's totally different from what we had seen before."
