Homeowners whose homes are worth less than their mortgage
Homeowners who have astable source of income
Homeowners who prefer to remain in their homes in lieu of foreclosure
AHP will realize their mission by:
Purchasing the home from the homeowner via short-sale
Leasing the home back to the homeowner at an affordable payment
Recording the option enables the homeowner to repurchase the home at a pre-determined price
Giving the homeowner the opportunity to repurchase the home at a price significantly less than what they previously owed.
Creating equity for the homeowner
A “short-sale” is when your lender allows you to sell your home for less than what is owed to them to satisfy the entire balance due.
AHP takes it a step further by negotiating a purchase price below your balance due AND below the current market value of your home.
AHP will always attempt to purchase the home for the lowest price possible
Rent will not exceed rent of comparable properties in the area
Five year lease with payment amounts
established at three percent. Repairs and maintenance
Major defects that require immediate repair are escrowed at closing
and completed within 60 days Additional repairs and maintenance during the lease
The option to purchase is recorded with the County Recorder to protect the participants’ interest in their homes
Recording the option ensures that participants benefit from the equity created by AHP’s short-sale purchase
The homeowner can repurchase the home for the amount it cost AHP-Affiliate Investor to acquire the home, plus:
15% in years 1 and 2 20% in year 3 25% in year 4 30% in year 5 Plus cost of repairs needed during the
lease period
AHP will create instant equity by purchasing the home for less than its current market value
Homeowner’s repurchase price will remain significantly below what was previous owed on the home.
Homeowner can direct the AHP-Affiliate Investor to sell the home at any time. All net proceeds at time of sale above the option price are paid to the homeowner
