The Buyer Your Lender Declined
Is Still a Closing.

Every 'no' from a traditional lender is a commission you walked away from. DreamBuilder lets you say yes to the buyers who don't fit the credit box β€” so you keep the listing, the buyer, and the deal.

πŸ’³

Credit-Challenged Buyers

580+ qualifies β€” and below 580 or no-score buyers may still close with reserves and compensating factors. Alternative credit (rent, utilities, telecom) accepted.

βœ“ Don't lose them to a decline
πŸ’Ό

Self-Employed & 1099

Your self-employed and gig-economy buyers qualify with bank statements, P&L, or WVOE β€” no W-2 or paystubs required. Great for artists, influencers, and cash-based earners.

βœ“ 3-month bank statement option
πŸ“‘

Post-Bankruptcy Buyers

1-day bankruptcy seasoning. Recently divorced, displaced, or rebuilding clients can stabilize and buy now β€” not two years from now. A perfect attorney-referral solution.

βœ“ 1-day BK seasoning
🌎

DACA & ITIN Buyers

Open the door to an underserved market. Non-permanent residents, DACA recipients, and ITIN holders qualify with as little as 3.5% down β€” no SSN required.

βœ“ Expanded ITIN solutions
πŸ—οΈ

Move Builder Inventory

Builders are sitting on the most unsold inventory since 2009. Offer a solution their in-house lender can't β€” and become the agent who moves standing inventory.

βœ“ New construction & manufactured OK
πŸ“Š

High-DTI Buyers

Buyer added a car loan or store credit before funding? 50/60 DTI thresholds and exceptions with compensating factors keep the deal alive instead of dead.

There's a Whole Buyer Pool
You're Not Closing β€” Yet.

Millions of credit-worthy renters pay rent and utilities on time but can't qualify through Agency or Non-QM financing. DreamBuilder is how you reach them first.

33M

Renters who pay rent and utilities on time but have been locked out of homeownership β€” until now.

55%

Of buyers prefer new construction, yet only 42% close on it β€” most fail the preferred lender's credit requirements.

486K

Bankruptcy filings in 2024 (up 16.2%) β€” a steady stream of attorney-referral buyers needing a 1-day seasoning solution.

26M

ITINs registered since 2022 β€” an underserved, growing market of credit-worthy buyers seeking a path to ownership.

How a DreamBuilder
Deal Closes

DreamBuilder uses a Structured Financing Agreement backed by a HUD-approved nonprofit government entity. Here's how you take a buyer from 'just missed' to keys in hand.

1

Find the Home & Submit for Approval

Your buyer finds a home; we submit it for the DreamBuilder Structured Financing Agreement approval. You stay the agent of record on the transaction.

2

Government Entity Purchases via FHA

An FHA-eligible government entity purchases the home using FHA financing through Open Mortgage Wholesale β€” providing the foundation for your buyer's path to ownership.

3

Buyer Locks In Their Option Price

Your buyer enters a Structured Financing Agreement, locking in the option-to-buy price, securing access to equity appreciation, and stable, predictable payments.

4

Buyer Moves In & Builds Equity

Payments lower the option price over time. Your client is protected from rent increases while building equity β€” and your commission is paid at closing.

5

Buyer Exercises the Option

When ready, your client takes full ownership through FHA Assumption, new financing, or sale of the property β€” and often comes back to you for their next move.

More Closings.
More Referrals. More Income.

DreamBuilder doesn't just save the deal in front of you β€” it opens up entirely new referral pipelines for your business.

πŸ”

Recover Lost Commissions

Stop sending pre-approval declines to the 'someday' pile. Convert the buyers other agents give up on into closings you actually get paid on.

πŸ—οΈ

Win Builder Relationships

Bring builders a financing solution their in-house lender can't offer. Help them move standing inventory and become their go-to agent.

βš–οΈ

New Referral Channels

Bankruptcy attorneys, divorce attorneys, credit-repair specialists, and ITIN tax preparers all have clients who need exactly this. Become their housing solution.

⚑

Fast, Predictable Closings

Average cycle time of 40–60 days with a streamlined process and dedicated support from your Reddish Bull team every step of the way.

What Realtors Ask Us Most

DreamBuilder is a Housing Empowerment Program facilitated by an FHA-eligible government entity. It's a Structured Financing Agreement β€” essentially a lease-to-own path with a locked-in option price β€” that lets credit-challenged and non-traditional buyers move into a home now and transition to full ownership later. For you, it's a way to close buyers who'd otherwise be declined.
