About the Book
Home Starts Here
The Best Way Home is more than just a guide—it’s a movement. Written by visionary leaders Demettrius S. Andrews and Joshua O. McClendon, this book serves as an essential tool for educating and empowering underserved communities, particularly African Americans and Hispanics, on how to build generational wealth through real estate.
At its core, the book is a direct response to the persistent disparities in homeownership that were highlighted in a 2019 report by the Black Urban League. That report revealed stark inequalities in real estate ownership, credit scores, and access to financial tools within minority communities. The Best Way Home was created to challenge those statistics and offer clear, actionable strategies for change.
Why This Book Matters
For too long, the path to homeownership—and the wealth it generates—has been unevenly distributed. Minorities have historically been shut out of opportunities due to systemic racism, economic injustice, and lack of access to financial education. The Best Way Home aims to level the playing field by teaching readers how to:
- Understand the real estate market
- Improve credit and financial readiness
- Navigate the home-buying process
- Create long-term wealth through property investment
- Avoid common pitfalls in real estate
- Build a legacy for future generations
This book isn’t just theoretical—it’s grounded in lived experience. Both authors have used the very strategies they share to succeed in real estate, overcome financial barriers, and mentor others in their communities.
