Requity Homes Ownership Program Basics

Why wouldn’t my client just use a private lender instead?

Private lending can be helpful short-term, but it often comes with higher risk and no structured exit. Additionally, private lenders require a minimum 20% down vs 2% deposit for our program. Our RTO program is different - it’s built around long-term planning, stability, and a clear buyback strategy, not just getting into a home.
