“Maria wanted a home for her daughter. Altgage increased her budget by $30,000 and helped find a $3,800 grant.”
Maria, like many Americans is an immigrant. She serves her community as a "personal shopper" at HEB, a Texas grocery store. Maria is a devoted mom and wanted an affordable home for her small family. After paying nearly half of her income as rent, Maria wanted to buy a home by and build equity. However, high interest rates limited her homebuying budget to $160,000. Maria discovered Altgage through our realtor referral network and used the low rates on offer to elevate her homebuying budget by $30,000. She also received a 2% down payment grant totaling $3,800. At Altgage, we believe in the American dream of homeownership and "affordable mortgages for everyone.”

“Chad and Tstatsa beat their local credit union's interest rate by 0.5% and used Altgage to transfer their home appraisal through a tricky process.”
Tsatsa and Chad met at UC Santa Barbara while pursuing their PhDs in Chemical Engineering and Computer Security. Chad runs Allthenticate, a security startup that believes “all passwords are weak” and instead helps users store security tokens that unlock everything from computers to physical doors. Tsatsa immigrated from Mongolia an loves spending time with her brothers when she’s not working as a chemical engineer. Chad and Tsatsa purchased their first home in Texas after learning the art of the possible in mortgages with Altgage. Closing day was also Tsatsa's birthday and a new home seemed like the perfect gift.
