Ready Life is a small to mid-sized financial services firm based in San Francisco, California. Through its Ready Life Mortgage, renters who consistently pay their rent on time via the Ready Pay digital account can apply for a home loan without relying on a traditional credit score. The company bases mortgage qualification on rental payment history, aiming to broaden access for individuals underserved by conventional lending criteria. Its broader mission is to equip communities with tools to build and preserve generational wealth, situating its approach within fintech-enabled pathways to homeownership. A notable recent development is a September 2024 pilot in Cleveland, Ohio that tests a homebuying model centered on financial literacy education in place of upfront cash down payments.
