How It Began
Jeff Langholz, Founder
Dr. Langholz created Home Equity Share Inc. to help people live the American Dream of home ownership.
A college professor, Dr. Langholz’s idea for real estate co-ownership started when he moved his family to California and purchased what seemed to be the last affordable house in the state – a rusty old “double wide” trailer.
The home came equipped with wheels, a leaky roof, and a license plate on the back. It didn’t seem right that someone who had done everything "right" (i.e., good salary, great credit, superb education) could not afford a regular house.
Upon moving into the trailer, Langholz vowed to solve the housing affordability crisis that plagues young professionals nationwide. His personal goal is to help one million people live the American Dream of home ownership.
At the same time, he helps real estate investors accomplish their financial goals. He does this by offering an alternative investment strategy that reduces risk, avoids negative cash flows, and eliminates property management headaches.
Home buyers and real estate investors quickly signed up from every state in the USA, as well as from other countries. Dr. Langholz recruited an experienced team of Silicon Valley executives to run the company and build on its early success. Today, HomeEquityShare.com stands as North America's leading website for real estate co-ownership
Dr. Langholz holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University.
