In the U.S., home prices are continually on the rise, and as a result, 60% of millennial homeowners say housing costs make it difficult to achieve their financial goals. Specifically, nearly half (42%) worry about whether they’ll be able to save enough to pay for their children’s college tuition. That’s according to research from home equity site Hometap. In its 2019 Homeownership Study, Hometap surveyed 675 homeowners, including 241 millennials, in order to take a closer look at how high housing costs impact U.S. homeowners. Of those surveyed, 73% reported feeling “house rich, cash poor” at least some of the time.

A Hometap HEI has a ten (10) year term, during which no monthly or recurring payments are required. Hometap records a lien against the property, in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust, to secure its interest. You may choose to settle the Investment at any time during the term without incurring any penalties by exercising an Owner Repurchase. If you do not settle the HEI by the expiration of the term, your Hometap HEI provider may exercise its right to acquire a percent ownership interest in the property and then work with you to sell the property. You may contact either Hometap entity at hello@hometap.com (for prospective or current applicants) or homeowners@hometap.com (for homeowners with an active HEI) for more information. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. For current criteria, please contact your Hometap HEI provider at (855) 223-3144 or visit www.hometap.com/faqs
