After years on the road as travel nurses, Angee and Anthony wanted to settle down—but traditional mortgages didn’t work with their income. Ownify helped them buy a home they love with just 2% down and a budget they felt confident in.

From an RV to a New Home: How Angee and Anthony Put Down Roots with Ownify

For years, Angee and her partner Anthony lived on the move. As travel nurses, they relocated every 13 weeks, calling an RV their home while caring for patients across the country.

“We kind of moved every 13 weeks to a new spot,” Angee says. “We have dogs, and they don’t do well with new environments—but it was what worked for us.”

Eventually, though, they were ready for something more permanent. A new job opportunity gave Angee the chance to settle in one place, and they began thinking seriously about buying a home. 

But as contract workers, their income—made up largely of stipends—didn’t show up clearly on paper. Traditional lenders didn’t take the full picture into account.

Angee and Anthony knew they’d need another two years of stable income before they could qualify for a mortgage.

Discovering Ownify & Finding a Budget That Worked

That’s when they discovered Ownify—on TikTok of all places. Intrigued by the model, they started researching.

“I used to process mortgage loans in another life, so I knew what to look for,” Angee says. “I researched it, looked at testimonials, and thought: this is kind of perfect.”

One of the tools that helped them feel confident was Ownify’s online affordability calculator. “We used that calculator a zillion times,” she laughs. “It was pretty spot-on and really helped us figure out where we needed to be monthly, which helped define our price range.”

With just 2% down and no need for a traditional mortgage, Ownify gave them a way to buy a home that worked with their real income and their real goals—without waiting years to meet conventional lending standards.

A Place That Finally Feels Like Theirs

Angee and Anthony found a home they loved in a quaint town near Nashville. “We absolutely love it,” she says. “The size is great, the construction is really solid—and the location is perfect.”

After years of life on the road, the ability to settle in, put down roots, and host family gatherings was a big deal.

“When you travel, nothing feels permanent,” she explains. “We used to not be able to host anyone for dinners or Thanksgiving. Now we can. We have a pretty extensive family, and we’re going to be able to do that.”

A Personal Process That Delivered

Throughout the experience, Angee said she felt supported and well-informed.

“If I had a question, I immediately got a response,” she says. “It felt very personal. It was a lovely experience.”
