Why HOMEBOUND exists

You have the income.You’re ready to become a homeowner.

  • You have the income.
  • You’re ready to become a homeowner.
  • You may have already saved the money for your down payment.

But your lender has identified specific credit issues that need to be addressed before your mortgage can move forward.

That’s exactly why RentEnd created HOMEBOUND.

HOMEBOUND is RentEnd’s mortgage-readiness program created for homebuyers who are financially ready to purchase a home but have specific credit obstacles standing between them and mortgage qualification.

Instead of simply hearing:

“Fix your credit and come back later.”

HOMEBOUND gives you a personalized, mortgage-focused action plan designed around the specific issues preventing your mortgage from moving forward.

And for borrowers who can complete the necessary actions quickly:

YOU COULD POTENTIALLY BE MORTGAGE-READY IN AS LITTLE AS 2 WEEKS.*

Absolutely clear

THIS IS NOT CREDIT REPAIR.WE WANT TO MAKE THAT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.

HOMEBOUND is not a traditional credit-repair program.

Not this

You are not enrolling in an open-ended service designed to broadly improve your credit someday.

You came to RentEnd for one reason:

YOU WANT TO BUY A HOME.

And that’s exactly what HOMEBOUND is focused on.

THE OBJECTIVE ISN’T “BETTER CREDIT SOMEDAY.”
THE OBJECTIVE IS GETTING YOU MORTGAGE-READY.

Your personalized plan

NO GUESSING.A CLEAR PLAN FORWARD.

HOMEBOUND helps you understand exactly what needs to happen next.

Your personalized HOMEBOUND plan can address:

  • Collection accounts requiring resolution
  • Credit-card balances requiring attention
  • Credit utilization
  • Specific lender Credit Expert recommendations
  • Accounts and amounts that need to be addressed
  • Documentation required for lender re-evaluation

Instead of trying to figure everything out yourself, HOMEBOUND gives you a roadmap.

How HOMEBOUND works

FROM CREDIT ROADBLOCK TO MORTGAGE READYHERE’S HOW HOMEBOUND WORKS

Mortgage readiness Step 01 / 08

HOMEBOUND — A RentEnd Mortgage Readiness Program

  1. Step 01 of 08

    WE IDENTIFY WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK

    HOMEBOUND focuses on the specific credit issues affecting your mortgage readiness.

    You know what needs attention and what needs to happen next.

  2. Step 02 of 08

    WE BUILD YOUR PERSONAL HOMEBOUND PLAN

    You receive an individualized mortgage-readiness strategy identifying the accounts and actions that need to be addressed.

  3. Step 03 of 08

    WE HELP NEGOTIATE QUALIFYING COLLECTIONS

    With your authorization and subject to applicable requirements, HOMEBOUND helps communicate with applicable creditors, collectors and debt holders to seek legitimate and favorable resolution options.

  4. Step 04 of 08

    YOU RECEIVE YOUR FINAL ACTION PLAN

    You know the negotiated or confirmed amounts, which qualifying accounts need to be resolved, the recommended payment sequence and your expected timeline.

  5. Step 05 of 08

    YOU TAKE ACTION

    You complete the required actions and resolve the applicable accounts.

    The faster you can complete your required actions, the faster your HOMEBOUND journey can move.

    WE HELP COORDINATE YOUR DOCUMENTATION

    Available settlement letters, payoff confirmations and receipts are coordinated for lender review.

  7. Step 07 of 08

    YOUR LENDER CAN REQUEST A RAPID RE-SCORE

  8. Step 08 of 08

    YOUR LENDER RE-EVALUATES YOUR MORTGAGE

    Your lender evaluates your updated credit and overall financial profile to determine your mortgage eligibility and updated purchasing power.

AND FOR BORROWERS WHO CAN COMPLETE THE NECESSARY ACTIONS QUICKLY, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY BE MORTGAGE-READY IN AS LITTLE AS 2 WEEKS.*

Down-payment advantage

NOW FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST HOMEBOUND ADVANTAGES.WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DOWN-PAYMENT MONEY IF YOU NEED TO USE IT TO PAY YOUR COLLECTIONS?

Imagine you’ve worked hard and saved thousands of dollars to buy your home.

Then you learn that qualifying collections need to be resolved before your mortgage can move forward.

Naturally, your first question may be:

“IF I USE MY DOWN-PAYMENT MONEY TO PAY MY COLLECTIONS, WHAT HAPPENS TO MY DOWN PAYMENT?”

HOMEBOUND HELPS YOU SOLVE BOTH PROBLEMS.

For eligible borrowers, HOMEBOUND contributes eligible funds toward your required down payment based on qualifying collections successfully resolved through your approved HOMEBOUND plan.*

That means you can use your existing down-payment savings to address the qualifying collections standing between you and mortgage readiness.

Here’s an easy example

Imagine you have already saved:

$20,000

FOR YOUR HOME

Your approved HOMEBOUND plan identifies:

$8,000

IN QUALIFYING COLLECTIONS TO RESOLVE

Down-payment restoration Stage 01 / 04
Stage 01 / 04

Stage 01 · Resolve

  1. YOUR MONEY RESOLVES THE COLLECTIONS.

    You use $8,000 of your existing savings to successfully resolve those qualifying collections.

  2. HOMEBOUND HELPS FUND YOUR DOWN PAYMENT.*

    For an eligible borrower: HOMEBOUND CONTRIBUTES $8,000 TOWARD YOUR ELIGIBLE DOWN PAYMENT.*

  3. YOU REMOVE THE CREDIT OBSTACLES.

    Think about what just happened. You didn’t simply spend $8,000 on old collections and lose your opportunity to buy a home. YOU USED THAT $8,000 TO REMOVE THE CREDIT OBSTACLES HOLDING BACK YOUR MORTGAGE.

  4. YOUR LENDER GETS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO QUALIFY YOU.

    And HOMEBOUND helps restore your down-payment power by contributing eligible funds toward your required down payment.

RESOLVE THE COLLECTIONS. RESTORE YOUR DOWN-PAYMENT POWER. GET MORTGAGE-READY. MOVE TOWARD YOUR HOME.

Strategic use of your funds

MAKE THE MONEY YOU ALREADY SAVED WORK SMARTER.

HOMEBOUND helps eligible borrowers use their available funds strategically.

Instead of keeping every dollar untouched for a down payment while unresolved collections continue preventing your mortgage from moving forward, you can use existing funds to address the qualifying credit obstacles.

HOMEBOUND then helps fund your eligible down payment.*

That helps preserve more of your remaining money for other needs associated with becoming a homeowner, subject to the requirements of your mortgage transaction.

Your remaining funds could potentially be available for things such as closing costs, prepaid expenses, required reserves, moving expenses, other eligible home-purchase expenses, or simply keeping more of your own money available.

And there’s another HOMEBOUND advantage

QUALIFYING CREDIT-CARD PAYDOWN ASSISTANCE

Credit utilization

LOWER BALANCES.

LOWER CREDIT UTILIZATION.

A STRONGER MORTGAGE-READINESS STRATEGY.

Collections aren’t always the only obstacle.

Sometimes you’re making your credit-card payments on time, but the balances themselves are affecting your credit utilization and mortgage-readiness strategy.

For borrowers who qualify under an available special program, eligible credit-card paydown assistance can be provided in connection with closing.*

    Your lender reviews your updated credit and financial profile.

  6. POTENTIALLY MORTGAGE-READY IN AS LITTLE AS 2 WEEKS.*
