Rocket Mortgage Unveils RocketRentRewards: Transforming Rent Payments Into Homeownership
Rocket Mortgage (NYSE: RKT) has launched RocketRentRewards, an innovative program offering homebuyers up to $5,000 in closing cost credits based on their rental payment history. The program provides 10% back on the last 12 months of rental payments, which can be applied directly to closing costs. With the national average rent at $1,800, this could mean $2,160 in savings for typical clients.
The initiative aims to address homeownership barriers, particularly for first-time buyers and underserved communities. Since 2020, renter households have grown to comprise over a third of U.S. homes, with nearly half being people of color. The program integrates with Rocket's recently launched all-in-one platform at Rocket.com, where clients can search properties through Rocket Homes and access financing options.
Rocket Mortgage (NYSE: RKT) ha lanciato RocketRentRewards, un programma innovativo che offre ai compratori di case fino a $5.000 in crediti per le spese di chiusura basati sulla loro storia di pagamenti dell'affitto. Il programma restituisce il 10% degli ultimi 12 mesi di pagamenti dell'affitto, che possono essere applicati direttamente alle spese di chiusura. Con l'affitto medio nazionale fissato a $1.800, questo potrebbe significare un risparmio di $2.160 per i clienti tipici.
L'iniziativa mira a affrontare le barriere all'acquisto di una casa, in particolare per i compratori alla prima esperienza e per le comunità svantaggiate. Dal 2020, le famiglie in affitto rappresentano oltre un terzo delle abitazioni negli Stati Uniti, con quasi la metà composta da persone di colore. Il programma si integra con la piattaforma all-in-one recentemente lanciata da Rocket su Rocket.com, dove i clienti possono cercare proprietà tramite Rocket Homes e accedere a opzioni di finanziamento.
