HOW IT WORKS
By partnering with us as your co-investor, we acquire a stake in the prospective worth of your home. As you settle into your new residence, we provide comprehensive programs and services to safeguard and enhance its value. Consequently, when the time comes to sell, we can mutually partake in the profits.
When it comes to the daunting process of buying and owning a home, fear no more because Backup is here.
1. Explore how we can significantly contribute to your home-buying experience.
To begin, simply submit your application. If it appears to be a suitable match, we will invite you to a call where we can delve further into our product. Upon receiving your mortgage pre-approval from one of our endorsed lenders, facilitated by a licensed mortgage broker, you will have the opportunity to secure our highest down payment contribution. This contribution can range from 5% to 15% of the purchase price, with a maximum limit of $250,000.
2. Find your new home
We will match you with a dedicated real estate agent from our network of trusted partners who possess specialized training to assist you throughout the home-buying process.
3. Determine your ownership share based on various factors and calculations
When engaging in a co-buying arrangement for a home, the percentage of the down payment contributed by each party directly corresponds to the equity percentage held in the property. This equity distribution determines how the appreciation of the home will be shared upon its sale.

After any final adjustments, we’ll divide the remaining proceeds according to our ownership shares in the home. You’ll walk away with your mortgage payments plus the appreciated value of your original down payment. we will receive the appreciated value of our down payment contribution.
