Our take
Purchasing a property can result in immense debt. Home buyers must often take out bridge loans to finance their purchase whilst continuing to live at their current residence.
Point provides property financing by providing a share of a homeowner's equity in advance to fund the purchase of a new home. The startup evaluates the finances of an applicant and purchases their property, obtaining a stake in the property if it is sold within ten years.
Point claims to prevent its customers from taking on crippling debt to fund a property purchase, and has helped nearly 10,000 homeowners across the United States. The company expanded from 16 to 28 total geographies in 2024, followed by a commitment to $2.5 billion in home equity investments in 2025. This large commitment exemplifies Point's growth and power within its industry.
