Products that do what FOHO – Safer rentals for foreigners in Korea with escrow and AI does

We built [FOHO](https://foreignerhome.com), a housing platform that helps foreigners safely rent in Korea — without scams, translation issues, or ghosting landlords. --- ### Why we built it: When one of us moved to the US, he got ghosted after sending a deposit for a room. In Korea, it’s worse — most listings are in Korean, deposits are high, and many landlords don’t want foreign tenants. Foreigners are *3x more likely to face fraud* in rental markets (- StatKorea 2025). We interviewed 122 foreign residents in Korea. Two had lost their deposit. From Reddit posts to real-world…

SafeRate – AI chat-native mortgage lender▲11
Hi HN, Dylan and Shima here. Today we're launching the first version of our project, Safe Rate, an AI-native mortgage lender going all in on the chat experience, at saferate.com. Mortgage shopping is an uncomfortable experience. You have to share lots of sensitive data to get a single quote, and if you want to comparison shop, the rate aggregator websites straight up sell your data, so you end up with a lot of texts, emails, and phone calls from salespeople you've never met asking you to blindly trust them with a big financial decision. Getting a mortgage quote should be on your terms. You…
