Description

In equity sharing both parties benefit from the relationship. Equity sharing, also known as housing equity partnership (HEP), gives a person the opportunity to purchase a home even if he cannot afford a mortgage on the whole of the current value. Often the remaining share is held by the house builder, property owner or a housing association. Both parties receive tax benefits. Another advantage is the return on investment for the investor, while for the occupier a home becomes readily available even when funds are insufficient.

FAQ

Unison equity sharing agreements are currently available in these states: Arizona. California. Colorado. Delaware. Florida. Illinois. Indiana. Kansas.

Home equity sharing may also be wise if you don't want extra debt reflected on your credit profile. "These agreements allow homeowners to access their home equity without incurring additional debt," says Michael Crute, a real estate agent and operations strategist with Keller Williams in Atlanta.

The most fundamental difference between Unison HomeOwner and a HELOC is that a HELOC is debt, and an equity sharing agreement isn't. Once a lender issues you a HELOC you can borrow against it at any time.

There are four ways in which your Unison greement can come to a close. Sell your home. You're allowed to sell your home, which ends your Unison agreement, at any time. Special Termination. After 30 years. The last signatory passes away.

Unison's share is typically 1.5x the percentage borrowed. For example, if you borrow 10% of your home's current value, Unison will receive 15% of the future appreciation.
