In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Adam Zach, co-founder of Home Equity Partner, a company dedicated to helping renters become homeowners, particularly in the Midwest and Southeast. Home Equity Partner focuses on people one to three years away from being eligible for a mortgage, such as first-time buyers, those with fluctuating incomes, or those improving their credit. By connecting aspiring homeowners with real estate investors looking for strong returns backed by real estate, the company provides a solution that makes homeownership more attainable.
Jonathan and Adam Zach start their conversion by exploring Adam’s early experiences with real estate and entrepreneurship, revealing the challenges that often hold people back and how he overcame them. Adam reflects on his own mistakes, including taking on too much early in his investing career, and shares how those lessons shaped his approach to real estate. He discusses the mission of Home Equity Partner to make the lease-to-own process more transparent, fair, and accessible for buyers, outlining how his company helps renters transition to homeownership. Adam also explains how investors can get involved in these transactions, where he sources leads, and offers tips for avoiding scams. The conversation touches on Adam’s involvement in other asset classes, his ideal clients on both the investor and buyer sides, and his advice for new investors. He highlights the often-overlooked lease-to-own model as a win-win opportunity in real estate investing.
You’ll hear more about:
- Home Equity Partner pre-approves qualified renters, helps them find a home they’d like to buy, and creates a lease-to-own agreement that works for both parties.
- The company has a vast network of real estate agents, loan officers, and other sources to help identify investors and renters ready to buy homes.
- For renters, they can identify a path to homeownership not always available through traditional financing. Investors can see double-digit returns on their investments. These partnerships can help alleviate the affordable housing crisis.
Lease-to-own isn’t always top-of-mind for renters or investors, but they can be an excellent alternative for purchasing a home when the traditional methods don’t fit. Adam Zach’s vision with Home Equity Partner is making homeownership more attainable for motivated buyers across the United States.
