The Affordable, Flexible Mortgage Alternative
Addressing the stress of debt
While mortgage loans are an important tool enabling millions of people to achieve homeownership, the combination of high debt and a lack of flexibility can be unforgiving and destructive. Millions of American homeowners are just a few missed payments away from losing their homes to foreclosure—no matter how much equity they’ve worked to build.
The worst part is that staying in their current home is usually more affordable than moving to a rental; but it’s simply not an option once a homeowner falls too far behind. A damaged credit score or a lump-sum payment requirement puts refinancing out of reach.
We believe that homeowners are more than their credit scores.
Often, it’s an unexpected life event that sets someone back — a health issue, an extended job search, or the need to care for a loved one. These events can come as a surprise and are often temporary, but they can kick off a spiral of unpaid bills, late fees, and rising debt that’s difficult to escape from.
Co-Ownership with Balance solves this.
We’re a more flexible and affordable way to own a home that replaces a lender with a co-owner (that’s Balance 👋).
We start by understanding a homeowner's situation and determining if Balance will be a good solution for them. If so, we pay off their entire mortgage and other high-interest debt in exchange for an ownership share of their home. This breaks our homeowners out of a downward debt spiral by drastically reducing their monthly debt payments. It gives them a fresh start and the cashflow needed to rebuild their credit. Importantly, the homeowners we partner with remain in control — they get to stay in the home they love and can sell, move, or transition back to a traditional mortgage at any time.
Balance exists to help families stay in their homes with the flexibility to get back on their feet.
