The Nick Halaris Show

This week on The Nick Halaris Show we are featuring Frank Rohde, the Founder and CEO of Ownify, a company creating a new path to ownership by partnering aspiring first time homebuyers with socially conscious investors. Frank is a serial entrepreneur with a long track record of success and someone who deeply understands the financial, social, and political barriers standing in the way of widespread, affordable homeownership.

I wanted to have Frank on the show to learn more about Ownify and its unique approach to solving the homebuying affordability problem. Housing has become such a big deal in America, both for our economy and our democracy, and we need individuals like Frank and companies like Ownify, to help reverse the negative trend.

Tune in to this inspiring episode to learn:

• How Ownify’s all-equity financial structure enables people to buy a home with just a 2% down payment
• Why Frank and his colleagues at Ownify believe the all-equity approach is both fairer and better than other debt-based models
• How dynamics in the mortgage industry have contributed to the worsening housing affordability crisis
• All the ways that rising homeownership rates can improve a local community

&

• Much, much more

Stay tuned to the end to learn why, after stumbling across some concerning mortgage data in his last company, Frank decided to go all-in on the fight to improve access for first-time homebuyers.

As always, I hope you all enjoy this episode. Thanks for tuning in!
