Rethink renting
Can't find the home you want? Stuck between the downsides of renting and buying? Avoid these trade-offs with Acre's purpose-built solution for relocation.
The relocator's dilemma
Rent vs. buy creates frustrating trade-offs.
The Rental Route
  • Limited inventory in great school districts
  • Outdated properties
  • No control over your home
  • Pet restrictions and size limitations
Traditional Home Buying
  • High down payment and transaction costs
  • Long term commitment
  • 6-10% costs to sell (and many gray hairs)
  • 100% of the maintenance is yours
You now have a 3rd option
1
Choose a Home That's For Sale
Browse the full for-sale market in the best neighborhoods. Target homes with top school ratings, modern updates, and the features your family wants.
2
Put in 5%. Period.
Contribute just 5% of the home's price — we call that you're Value Share. There are no other fees, transaction costs…or headaches. Acre buys the home in cash on your behalf.
3
Lease and Share Appreciation
Move in and pay monthly lease payments with no mortgage debt. Starting on day one, you participate in home price appreciation.
Pick a home that's for sale
Renting a single family home in a great neighborhood with top schools isn't easy. The rentals that are available aren't in the best condition.

Flexibility to decide what's next
Life changes, and your housing should adapt with you. Acre gives you the freedom to explore a new city, find the right community, and make informed decisions about long-term housing without financial pressure or rushed commitments.
Cash Out
Jobs change. Family needs evolve. If you need to move simply cash out your Value Share, appreciation, and move on. No Realtor fees, no lengthy selling process, no costly transaction expenses.
Buy the Home
If you decide to stay and mortgage rates come down, you can purchase the home directly. Get a mortgage without the typical costs of refinancing or the hassle of a new transaction.
Extend
Love the home and neighborhood but not ready to buy? Extend your lease to stay and build wealth while keeping your options open.
Build wealth via appreciation from day one
When you rent, 100% of your monthly payments disappear. Acre gives you access to the upside of homeownership without the burden of mortgage debt.
From the moment you move in, you share in your home's appreciation. If the market goes up, you build wealth.

Example: If your home appreciates by $100,000 during your time there, you keep $50,000 of that appreciation (with Acre Boost). That wealth accumulation starts immediately, not years down the road.
You're never under water
Hedge the downside risk. If the market goes down, you're not under water.
Understanding the potential impact of market fluctuations is crucial. Here's a comparison of the outcomes .If the $500,000 home you purchased with $25,000 up front drops to $450,000 and you need to sell.
With a Mortgage
  • You lose the entire $25,000 downpayment
  • You owe the bank another $25,000
  • Total loss: $50,000
With Acre
  • Your $25,000 Value Share drops by $2,500
  • You get $22,500 back at the end of your term
  • Total loss: $2,500
