Loftium is service that offers a down payment to those willing to rent an extra bedroom in your new home on Airbnb for 12-36 months and share the profits.
@rrhoover My first impression was that it was for people who wanted to buy a house faster than they typically could out of their means, and that they might have been Airbnb hosts before - from that perspective I love it! It's not for me but I think it's an interesting take / new economical viewpoint.
@rrhoover@m_____v Thanks a lot Marcus! Indeed, that's our core customer segment... the backstory is that with skyrocketing student debts and rent costs, even people with solid incomes will take another 5+ years to accumulate enough savings for a down payment (even 5/10%... as an example of this, one of our first customers works at Microsoft.) In the last 24 hours over 1,000 interested buyers have signed up, the majority of which are able to pay relatively high monthly payments (e.g. $2,000 +) but don't have enough saved for the down payment (e.g. $20,000).
