Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

A tech-enabled program where the company buys the home of the customer's choice, and the customer rents it back with a portion of rent building equity credits toward a future down payment.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Modernizes the predatory 'contract for deed' model into a transparent path to ownership. It bridges the gap for credit-invisible but income-rich consumers (e.g., gig workers) whom banks reject."

warning The Challenge

Many potential homebuyers have good income but lack the savings for a down payment or have a thin credit file, locking them out of homeownership. They are stuck renting, where 100% of their payment is lost. Traditional rent-to-own schemes were often scams with high failure rates.

psychology The Solution

The customer chooses any home on the market. Divvy pays cash for it. The customer moves in and pays rent + an 'equity savings' portion. In 3 years, they have saved ~10% for a down payment and improved their credit, allowing them to qualify for a mortgage and buy the home from Divvy at a pre-agreed price.
