HOMEBOUND™
A RentEnd Mortgage Readiness Program
THIS IS NOT CREDIT REPAIR.
THIS IS MORTGAGE READINESS.
YOUR CREDIT MAY HAVE STOPPED YOUR MORTGAGE TODAY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP YOU FROM BUYING YOUR HOME.
You could potentially be mortgage-ready in as little as 2 weeks.*
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.
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.
We identify the specific credit obstacles affecting your mortgage readiness and create a defined strategy to address them.
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.

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
Stage 01 · Resolve
-
YOUR MONEY RESOLVES THE COLLECTIONS.
You use $8,000 of your existing savings to successfully resolve those qualifying collections.
-
HOMEBOUND™ HELPS FUND YOUR DOWN PAYMENT.*
For an eligible borrower: HOMEBOUND™ CONTRIBUTES $8,000 TOWARD YOUR ELIGIBLE DOWN PAYMENT.*
-
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.
-
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.
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
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.*
