Testa Capital Group is an Orange County, California, corporation dedicated to revitalizing neighborhoods and enhancing communities. Our Residential Reinvestment Program® creates liquidity for sellers through our acquisitions, job opportunities through our renovations, investment vehicles funded with private capital, renovated homes that are well located and attractively priced, and stronger communities through the reintegration of our renovated homes. The primary mission of our program is to acquire and renovate distressed residential real estate (REOs, short sales and shadow inventory), and in the process convert undesirable housing into desirable homes that create added value. Our renovated homes are available for owner-occupants to purchase and as rentals for tenants.

Through our unique process, we revitalize neighborhoods while improving neighbor morale and pride of ownership by transforming vacated houses that have become eyesores, into newly renovated homes with attractive curb appeal.

John McCain Rally Woodbridge, VA – 10/18/08 TRANSCRIPT: JOHN MCCAIN: We need to buy up bad mortgages and refinance them at a new level, so you can afford to stay in your home and realize the American dream. So if your neighbor defaults, he doesnt bring down the value of your house with him. We got to save the American dream and keep people in their homes. This administration is not doing that.

NeighborWorks Waco was recently awarded .1 million by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs as part of their NSP (Neighborhood Stabilization Plan). The NSP program provides funds to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of neighboring home values. The grant award plays a significant role for NeighborWorks Wacos PEARLS (Purchase-Efficient-Affordable Properties-Rehab-Lease-Sell) program, which aims to acquire 40 properties by Fall 2010 and lease them with an option to purchase. NeighborWorks Waco has acquired 20 properties as of October 2009, with nearly all rented or currently being rehabbed.

Why are these units vacant? shouted Cynthia Scott, as she gestured behind her to the boarded-up apartments at the low-rise Lathrop Homes public housing development. Keeping these units empty, in the midst of an economic and housing crisis, is a terrible waste. CHA, open them up for people who need housing! Scott, a member of the Lathrop Leadership Team, spoke to 200 residents and supporters at a rally October 23. Under the Teams proposal, CHA could house families, including military veterans with children who need affordable housing. That would generate rental income, keep Lathrops buildings in good condition and prevent crime by leasing the units. Today, 600 of Lathrops 900 units are empty. In 1999, when CHA began its Plan for Transformation of public housing, it listed Lathrop as TBD to be determined. Nine years later, there is still no plan. Meanwhile, the CHA has refused to lease any new units. But many units are still in good shape. Leasing 300 of the empty units now would be a positive first step toward the long-term revitalization of Lathrop Homes, community leaders said. The Lathrop Leadership Team, a coalition of residents and agency leaders organized by LSNA to preserve the affordable Lathrop apartments, has championed a vision for the development as a mix of public housing, affordable rental and affordable home ownership without market rate. Lathrop is surrounded by market rate homes. Theres no need for more condos here, said Juanita Stevenson, president of the …

This house was a major Oak Park fixer. It actually sold in 2010 for 00, which was the lowest sales price in all of Sacramento County for the year. There was indeed a reason why this one sold so low. It was unsafe, had a fire, and there were numerous code violations too. This house has been completely remodeled from the studs up as well as added on to with a permit and everything done strictly to Sacramento County Code and acceptable to FHA standards. This property was rehabbed in conjunction with the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) through SHRA. The sales price will be the appraised value, so you know you’re going to get a fair deal. The buyers have to be first-time homebuyers and there are income restrictions. Call Housing Group Fund for details at 916-548-2524. This video was shot by Ryan Lundquist of www.LundquistCompany.com.
