Zero Down is an affordable homeownership solution in the Bay Area. Homeownership here — even thinking of it—has become financially impractical. We end up paying rent as a cheaper, but wasteful alternative. Here's what we propose: We buy the home you want, you move in without a down-payment, and instead of paying rent to your landlord, you pay us towards owning your house. In short, you build ownership in your home every month. Home equity vests to you monthly, just like stock options at your workplace.
