EH " I : m N M lz r f . n -p sz Iv H , I i, s rl Indian Business Talk Importance of equity By Bruce Engle Credit Sill fori Officer I-Ajtiiry, what is it? It is the cash value of your ownership interest in an asset, be it a car, a house, a gun, etc. It usually computes as fair market sale price, less debt owed, less costs of sale. Cash-in-pocket after the deal is done, pretty well describes it. It used to be said about those who owed more on a car than it was worth that they were "bur ied" in the car. That was popu lar until some wealthy Texans actually were buried in their prized Cadillacs and Rolls Roy ccs, Now, someone who owes more on a car than it is worth is said to be "upside down" in the car. They are under their debt instead of on top of it. For example, buy a $12,000 new car from the lot today and finance it with zero down and drive it home. I f you decide to sell it ten days later, it is now a used car and not worth what you paid for it or what you owe on it. You will have to pony up some cash to get out from un der the debt. Buy a house in a booming economy and you may see your equity increase through the phe nomenon of appreciation. When demand for housing is strong and there is a shortage of desirable homes on the mar ket, buyers will be forced to pay more for a home. As an economy goes sour or a home is allowed to deteriorate, In Madras We will do MORE on your items and charge LESS for doing it At - CASH AND RELEASE 579 SE 5th St., Madras, OR (Across from Ericksons Market) Wood stoves, pellet stoves Complete security systems MODEL 2PX71A5 APPROXIMATELY 1,917 SQ. Ft. Page 9 the value of the home and the owner's equity will decrease. Some other ways to increase your equity are to make a larger down payment, make larger than agrecd-to monthly payments, keep the property in tip top con dition or make improvements to the property that increase its value by more than the cost of the improvements. Toward a healthy economy Community economic devel opment is like a teepee. The basic support structure consists of three poles lashed together, each giving support to the other two. All three are essential to the success and longevity of the whole. Let the first pole represent the tribal members who desire success in their personal and business affairs, who will seek the necessary education and training to prepare themselves for gainful employment for themselves and their families. The second pole will consist of an adequate body of com mercial law, supported by the tribal membership and a com petent and fair-minded court system. The third pole represents sources of credit and invest ment capital both from on and off the reservation. A healthy, robust Native American economy is possible when all three elements are in place and working well. The lack of any one of the poles will severely limit the po tential for success. 475-3157 V
