The Buy Now, Sell Later Loan empowers existing homeowners to purchase their next home before selling their current one. This unique loan program removes the need to access your exit property’s equity for down payment while accommodating for the current mortgage payment on your existing home. This means you can focus on finding the perfect property as a non-contingent buyer without the rush of selling your home first as a contingent buyer would need to do. This allows for you to have more time and flexibility, empowering homeowners with the time they need to find the ideal buyer for their current home, potentially securing a better sale price.

This solution is especially valuable in competitive markets like Wisconsin and Illinois, where inventory shortages have made it challenging for new buyers to find available homes. By helping homeowners make a smooth transition to their next property, more homes become available in the market for first-time buyers, easing the pressure on low housing inventory and creating more opportunities for aspiring homeowners.

The Build Now, Sell Later Loan is designed for those who want to start constructing their dream home without the immediate need to sell their current property. This unique loan program removes the need to access your exit property’s equity for down payment to your builder while accommodating for the current mortgage payment on your existing home. This means you can focus on the details that matter—like floor plans, finishes, and layout—without worrying about rushing to sell your existing home. This also allows for the homebuyer to have control in the build process, ensuring construction plans are followed in design and material quality.

When homeowners build new properties with this option, their previous homes eventually become available for sale, adding valuable inventory to the market. This is especially important in regions like Southeast Wisconsin or Northern Illinois, where a blend of new builds and older homes can make a community more dynamic and diverse, offering a wider range of choices for first-time buyers and other potential homeowners.

The Rehab Now, Sell Later Loan allows homeowners to purchase a home that needs either cosmetic applications or complete renovation, before having to sell your existing home. This unique loan program removes the need to access your exit property’s equity for downpayment or rehab funds while accommodating for the current mortgage payment on your existing home. Enjoy the freedom of rehabbing your new home into the dream home you wanted, potentially creating significant equity and savings through this purchase option while having the time to do so without having to move from your existing home until after the rehab is done.

By refreshing older homes, this loan option helps bring updated and desirable properties to market, offering more appealing choices for buyers. For communities, this means revitalizing neighborhoods and increasing the quality of housing available, which can attract new families and foster long-term stability.

Building Stronger Communities Through Real Estate

These tailored loan solutions don’t just benefit individual buyers—they create a positive ripple effect across the entire community. As more homes become available through these flexible options, first-time buyers gain better access to the market, and the local economy sees a boost from increased home sales and new construction. The influx of new buyers into communities helps stabilize neighborhoods, encourages local investment, and supports economic growth, fostering a sense of pride and long-term stability in areas like Wisconsin and Illinois.
