Talking about Verbhouse!
"lease-to-purchase: how to build homeownership"
“Verbhouse is the only company we found that allows its renters to cash out their option at fair market value by selling the home and allowing customers to keep market appreciation plus any equity accumulated during the leasing period through rent buy-down payments without exercising their purchase option."
"Rent-to-Own Homes: How the Process Works"
“While rent-to-own agreements have traditionally been geared toward people who can't qualify for conforming loans, there's a second group of candidates who have been largely overlooked by the rent-to-own industry: people who can't get mortgages in pricey, nonconforming loan markets.”
"Buying vs. Renting in the San Francisco Bay Area"
“A new housing option is coming to the San Francisco Bay area that combines the flexibility of renting and the long-term benefits of owning. San Francisco-based startup Verbhouse is launching a lease-with-an-option-to-purchase program that lets program participants ("Verbees") move into their dream homes now with the option (but not obligation) to buy later.”
"Alternative real estate investments:
what they are and how to invest in them"
“Impact investors have the opportunity to generate social, environmental, and economic outcomes that may not otherwise be possible,” says Marjorie Scholtz, founder and CEO of Verbhouse. “As a result, impact investors can play a vital role in bringing forward real-world solutions.”

What we believe
The benefits of homeownership are essential to our emotional and financial empowerment, independence, long-term stability, and the health of our communities and economies.
The popular conversation focuses on housing affordability and overlooks the fact that significant financial barriers to using traditional mortgage products, particularly in high-cost housing markets, constrain homeownership opportunities for otherwise credit-worthy people.
Verbhouse, in partnership with its public and private partners, offers credit-worthy low—and middle-income households a new way to buy a home and build equity and wealth while renting to own.
