Poplar Street, 20 percent of your rent back when you buy a home

In plain words

Poplar Street is a program that returns 20 percent of a user's rent payments when they purchase a home. Launched in 2018, it targets renters who are saving to become homeowners. The service helps bridge the gap between renting and homeownership by converting a portion of past rent into savings that can be applied toward a home purchase.
