She Came to See a Rental — Left With a Plan to Own It

Ashley was looking for a lead-free rental home in the Freeport area — a safe place for her family. She found a property she liked and scheduled a visit, expecting a straightforward rental walkthrough. At that point, buying a home wasn't even on her radar.

When Ashley arrived to see the property, she met Moby from Pied Piper Group. Instead of just showing her the rental, Moby explained the homeownership program — how Ashley could own the home instead of renting it, build equity with every payment, and have her security deposit count toward the down payment. The monthly cost would be similar to what she'd pay in rent anyway.

Ashley applied to the program and was approved. She moved into her 3-bedroom home on S Float Ave with a monthly payment of $1,295 — right in line with what she would have been paying in rent. But now, every payment builds equity. Instead of making her landlord wealthier, she's investing in her own future and her family's stability.
