Explanation
Equity sharing (shared appreciation mortgage/equity sharing agreement) allows investors to fund down payments in exchange for a share of future appreciation. The buyer gains access to ownership; the investor gains a real estate investment without managing property. In Nevada's high-cost Las Vegas market, equity sharing programs have helped buyers overcome the down payment barrier. The arrangement requires careful legal documentation of the equity sharing agreement, including terms for buyout when the investor's interest is purchased out.
