Equity Investment in Your Home

Here is a unique and novel approach to home equity investment and appreciation. Rex HomeBuyer is new to the housing market since 2004, and is a private equity fund that uses investments by private real estate investors to help creditworthy borrowers come up with down payments.

They put up to 50% of the down payment on a house in exchange for a share of the equity whenever the house sells. There are no mortgage payments and no interest on this money. It is a form of shared appreciation.

Conversely, if the market goes down, they also share in the loss, thus mitigating some of the risk for the homebuyer.

Happy investing!
