Challenge
Rising interest rates, rising home prices, lack of inventory and other factors are significant barriers to homeownership, and will be for many years to come.
As a result, homeownership has become unaffordable for a significant number of credit-worthy families that have the net income, but not the net worth (a.k.a. down payment) needed to get into a home with an affordable monthly mortgage payment (the driving factor of almost all home purchases; homeowner fear being “house-poor” every month).
Solution
Highland Estates and Steadworth will offer prospective purchaser (i.e. credit-worthy buyers with stable incomes that meet certain underwriting criteria) a unique financing program. Steadworth, through its Home Wealth Share Program, will provide eligible homebuyers with 10%-15% of the purchase price of a home as an additional down payment for a home (the homebuyer must contribute 5%-10%).
Steadworth Versus Other Low Down Payment Options
Conclusion
Because the homebuyer now has a 20% down payment (5%-10% of their own money and 10%-15% of 3rd party investor money), they have a lower affordable mortgage payment and no private mortgage insurance, and they save quite a bit of money every month. In return for the investment in a homebuyer's required down payment, Steadworth will share in a portion of the future appreciation on the home. Steadworth’s interests are secured through a second lien against the property; but Steadworth is completely passive and will have “no voice” and cannot interfere in homeowner’s use and enjoyment of the property.
