They're a tag team of top real estate agents helping Latinos buy homes in Silicon Valley, leading a national trend that is slowly narrowing the "homeownership gap" for the largest minority group in the country. Prestamos Hipotecarios

Nationwide, that homeownership gap is stark: 48.2 percent of Latinos owned homes in 2002, compared with 67.9 percent of the overall population.

While income and language remain significant barriers, real estate experts say fewer Latinos buy homes because the American financing process is often unfamiliar. Also, traditional credit checks ignore some factors that show Latinos to be worthy borrowers. Daniel Vasquez
