For homebuyers

You don’t need a huge down payment to own your home.

Buy it with co-investors, move in now, and buy their shares whenever you’re ready, until the home is 100% yours.

Bob and Anna’s story

Bob and Anna have rented for ten years, always on time. They have fair to good credit and can get a $250,000 mortgage. They found a $500,000 home but had only $10,000 for a down payment.

With HutFund, two co-investors fund the remaining $240,000, $120,000 each. Bob and Anna move in now, owning 52%. If they later buy 10% of the home while it is still worth $500,000, that costs $50,000.

How it works for you

  1. Find a home. Your mortgage and down payment cover part of the price.
  2. Co-investors fund the rest. They buy their share, so you can buy now.
  3. Move in and live. You pay the mortgage, tax, insurance and repairs.
  4. Buy more whenever you can. Choose how much, and ask your co-owners who is willing to sell.
  5. Own 100%. Keep going until the home is fully yours.
