Accessibility-Focused Homeownership Programs

Sun West Mortgage Company Partners with Crib Equity

Sun West Mortgage Company and Crib Equity have partnered to introduce EdgeAhead, an innovative program aimed at making homeownership more accessible and flexible. This Non-QM (non-qualified mortgage) initiative allows homebuyers to combine their down payment with a co-investment from Crib Equity, which will effectively double their initial funds. By reducing the upfront financial burden and eliminating the need for private mortgage insurance, EdgeAhead helps buyers secure their dream homes with as little as a 10% down payment.

Currently available in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, and Texas, the EdgeAhead program is not restricted to first-time buyers and leverages Sun West Mortgage Company's AngelAi technology to streamline the loan process. This will ensure faster and more efficient closings.
