Using Quarter\u2019s fractional funding model took 50% of my monthly out-of-pocket cost away compared to a traditional mortgage &#8211; making this home affordable to buy. Our mission at Quarter is to bring this housing affordability to millions of young people like me and millions of underserved families who have been priced out of the American dream of home ownership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Quarter fractional equity program is an innovative funding model based on investors purchasing financial interests, that are linked to the home through a special purpose entity, that becomes a tenants-in-common with the homeowner when the property is acquired. Quarter was advised by DLA Piper LLP (US) on establishing a regulatory compliance framework for its operations. Quarter\u2019s capital is equity\/co-ownership based vs. traditional debt-based mortgage capital used exclusively to finance homes today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe affordability crisis facing Millennials like me, and other traditionally underserved communities, is largely the result of interest-rate driven mortgages combined with out of reach home prices,\u201d explained Diesch. \u201cIf you\u2019re a first-time buyer, with no equity to trade in for down payment, and mortgage rates are the highest they\u2019ve been since Friends was on NBC &#8211; then millions of us are simply out of luck and stuck in apartments or rental homes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuarter offers us a chance at home ownership by enabling Investors to invest in <strong>owner-occupied homes<\/strong> for the first time in history. Sourcing purchase capital from co-owner investors allows them to enjoy monthly cash flows from their investment while sharing appreciation gains proportionally with homeowners like me. And I take care of the house as an owner, not a renter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you add it all up, Quarter\u2019s fractional investors enjoy economics similar to whole-home ownership while home buyers like me enjoy up to 50% or more in savings every month vs. mortgage. This changes everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Quarter<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=E3C5CZ0KWU8GPoSHYNW3QMktgYQVV6y0FqiM12OecPhQv7ZEFSHBCIXQAKu6a2sohLbTceCwO4j-xtUeimcHkg==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><u>Quarter<\/u><\/a> is America\u2019s first owner-occupied fractional equity-based home funding program and technology platform, with the aim of providing homeownership to millions who cannot afford a home using traditional debt-based.
