• Build, test, and refine the Live to OwnTM Calculator. Live to OwnTM is a game changing, disruptive technology in real estate financing that sets renters up to be co-investors with their landlords. They earn a portion of the equity gain in the home they intend to own, during their last years as a renter. The Live to OwnTM Calculator we’ll build in this project will give applicants an instant screen view of the way their rent will relate to how they build equity in their home, and eventually qualify for a mortgage and become the owner.
