Relocating talent in the U.S. can create affordability challenges for your employees, especially when deploying talent to high-cost locations. AIRINC’s innovative new solution helps your employees when they need it most — up-front when they are looking to purchase a home.
AIRINC’s Home Purchase Differential calculates a lump sum payment to cover the additional cost of buying in higher-cost markets. Based on the difference between house purchase prices in the destination vs. the origin, the differential provides an up-front payment that the employee can use to secure a larger down payment, allowing access to more affordable monthly mortgage payments. You have the option to tailor the payment to your policies – tapering or setting a threshold for the payment.
We built this solution based on actual client needs and we specifically tailored it to deliver an up-front solution addressing high housing costs and down payment requirements. The Home Purchase Differential is different from a COLA, which may not always address the large hurdle of high-cost housing markets.
