Asset-Backed Lease Option

Wilson Home

The path for employees at mature startups to purchase a primary residence without a traditional mortgage or selling equity today.

What is an Asset‑Backed Lease Option?

The Asset-Backed Lease Option (ABLO) is a non-loan alternative to a mortgage.

It allows you to buy your dream home now by leveraging the future value of your equity, instead of a down payment.

Essentially, you trade Wilson Home an option to purchase a small portion of your shares in the distant future in exchange for a home now, often realizing substantial tax benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your common ABLO questions, answered.

How does Wilson Home make money?

We're investors, not lenders. Our success is tied to your equity's growth through a share option, aligning our interests with yours for a positive long-term outcome.

What if my company's value doesn't grow or an IPO is delayed?

The ABLO is designed for long-term partnership. If market conditions change significantly, we work with you to find the best path forward based on our agreement terms.

Do I need to qualify?

Yes, primarily based on sufficient vested equity in an eligible high-growth company. It's generally simpler than traditional mortgage qualification.

Can I make changes to the home?

Absolutely! Treat it as your own. We encourage value-enhancing improvements. Significant structural changes may need discussion.

What if my equity value decreases?

Our option is typically for a pre-agreed number of shares, meaning we share in market fluctuation risks. We'll work with you on the best approach if values change significantly.

Can I move before the option period ends?

Yes, ABLO offers flexibility. We can discuss solutions like early option exercise or transferring the ABLO to a new property (subject to qualification).
