Repaying Equity Sharing and Fees

Can I exit the contract before the end of the term, or buy the investor out?

Yes, you can! If you choose to buy the investor out, an appraisal is ordered to determine the fair market value of your home. The payment you make to the investor will be similar to what you would pay if you sold your home.

You can exit the contract at any point of time before the end of the term. The final payment amount will be based on the home value at that time and the percentage share of the appreciation. There is no prepayment penalty or additional fees if you exit before the end of the term.
