Break the chains of your mortgage with a revolutionary finance concept that can cut the cost of home ownership by 50% to 60%! A new and revolutionary finance tool could help many more Americans purchase homes of their own. How this tool would work is detailed in the new book Housing Partnerships: A New Approach to a Market at a Crossroads, recently published by The MIT Press. The advent of Housing Partnerships stand to greatly improve how the housing finance market functions through the acceptance and institutionalization of �limited partnerships� between new and existing home owners and financial institutions. How it works: Instead of renting or buying an entire dwelling, consumers could finance a percentage of a property, while the other portion is financed by institutional investors, who provide equity capital for the house in exchange for a proportion of the final sale price. The home buyer (the Managing Partner) and a financial institution (the Limited Partner) would each own a fixed proportion of the home, resulting in co-ownership. The Managing Partner would live in the entire home and when he or she decides to sell the house, potential proceeds are split with the Limited Partner. By financing a portion of a home, buyers can devote less time to saving for down payments, greatly reduce their expenses with smaller mortgages and retain more of their income to spend, and more importantly, save and invest. For the broader financial community, Partnership Markets would provide new opportunities for institutional investors to diversify into the residential real estate market; realtors to sell more homes, and the federal government to offer innovative programs for public housing. According to The New York Times, Housing Partnerships: A New Approach to a Market at a Crossroads, and its analysis of this new market, shines a spotlight on the current housing finance market's glaring shortcomings. And Investor's Business Daily says of the concept: �In an age when markets are securitizing pollution credits and exotic bundles of fixed-income instruments, helping people with their single most important investment might be a natural.� Information for consumers, realtors, banks and institutional investors is available at our web page at: http://www.housingpartnerships.com
