How It Works
We buy distressed homes, fix them up, and offer them to two families who share ownership and payments. Your rent becomes your mortgage.
We Buy & Renovate
ThinkMakes purchases distressed 2-family homes at below-market prices and fully renovates them to modern standards.
Two Families Apply
Two families are matched to co-own the property. Each family gets their own unit and pays their portion of the monthly payment.
Pay Rent = Build Equity
Your monthly payment goes toward owning the home. After 30 years, both families own the property free and clear.
3-Year Commitment
Both families commit to stay for 3 years. If someone needs to leave, they must sell their share to a qualified buyer first.
Program Benefits
No Down Payment
Move in with $0 down. We've already invested in repairs and renovations.
Shared Ownership
Split the cost with another family. Lower payments, shared responsibility.
Build Real Equity
Every rent payment builds your ownership. In 30 years, it's yours.
Fully Renovated
Move into a completely updated home with modern systems and finishes.
Protected Investment
3-year lock-in protects both families' investment and ensures stability.
Community Building
Build lasting relationships with your co-family while achieving the American Dream.
3-Year Commitment Period
Neither family can sell the entire property for 3 years from move-in date. This protects both families' investment.
Must Find Replacement if Leaving
If one family needs to move out, they must sell their ownership share to a qualified buyer before leaving. You cannot abandon your share.
Co-Family First Right
Your co-family gets the first option to buy your share if you want to leave. This gives them the chance to own 100%.
Equity Stays With You
When you sell your share, you receive all the equity you've built. Your investment is protected.
