Your questions, answered.
What is ZeroDown?
ZeroDown is creating a new pathway to homeownership in the San Francisco Bay Area. Homebuying isn’t just expensive here—it’s cost-prohibitive. So the majority of people end up renting, as a cheaper, but wasteful alternative.
But what if there was an option between renting and owning? That’s where ZeroDown comes in:
we buy the home you want. You move in, pay us a fixed monthly amount and build
purchase-credits
purchase-credits represent a percentage of the home value and you earn
them over time.
disclaimers
in your home each month.
Is ZeroDown a loan?
No, ZeroDown is not a lender and you are not getting a mortgage. Instead, you partner with ZeroDown to buy your home for you and build purchase-credits every month.
How is the monthly payment calculated?
Your monthly payment is based on on the value of the home you select and will not change as long as you live in your home. This is the only payment you’ll ever make to ZeroDown and we’ll take care of property taxes and home insurance. No hidden costs, no hidden fees, ever!
A portion of your payment goes toward building
purchase-credits
purchase-credits represent a percentage of the home value and you earn
them over time.
disclaimers
, the rest goes toward leasing the home.
