Owning a Home is Closer Than You Think
Buying a home feels impossible, but you don’t have to do it alone. Many first-time buyers get help from family, and with Tufa, your parents can invest in your down payment—helping you afford a home sooner.
A Smarter Way to Buy - Without Waiting Years
A down payment is the biggest hurdle for most buyers. Instead of waiting years to save, Tufa lets your family invest in your home—without co-signing or giving money away.

More options, better homes, without compromising finances
Shared Success
When you sell your house, your family gets their investment back plus their share of the higher sales price

Our Process
Whether you`re buying your first home or helping someone you love afford theirs, Tufa makes the process transparent, collaborative, and secure — from exploring possibilities to closing the deal.
See What's Possible
Answer a few quick questions about your goals and your child's homebuying plans. We'll show you how your contribution could increase their buying power — and how Tufa helps structure everything clearly and securely.
Get Your Personalized Guide
We'll generate a Guide that includes a customized proposal and a full explanation of how co-investment works — including repayment terms, legal protections, and how your support fits alongside a traditional mortgage. You can use this Guide to start the conversation with your child.
Finalize the Plan Together
When your family is ready, Tufa will help you move forward — answering questions, preparing legal documents, and making sure your contribution is clearly defined, protected, and ready for closing.
Support the Purchase & Track Everything in One Place
Your contribution becomes part of the down payment. Tufa coordinates with the mortgage lender and title company to finalize everything. After closing, you'll have access to the Tufa app — where you can view signed agreements, track the current value of your investment, and explore early repayment options.

My friends and I always wonder if we’ll ever own a home. It feels impossible, at least anytime soon.
