Buying vs. Rent to Own Homes
Renting to own a home is like a test drive for buying a house. It’s comparable to the car dealership letting you drive out of the lot with the car that you want (after you pay a small option fee) and telling you to come back when you have the money to pay the full price of it, as long as it is within the lease term. Then you make monthly lease payments until you’re ready to buy it.
You should lease-option when you’re close to getting financing for the home you’re looking to purchase, but need a bit more time (1-3 years) before you’re ready. And if you’re unsure about the house, you have more time to consider it from a more personal perspective.
Similarly to test driving a car, once you’re sure that this is the house you want and you have the money to purchase it, you should buy it as soon as possible. There’s no sense in paying rent money for longer than you need to. Rent to own also gives you the flexibility to close on a home whenever you’re ready to. It’s a mix of the best parts of renting and buying.
Rent to Own Realtors
You can plan a party without an event planner, you can go swimming without a lifeguard, and you can rent to own without a realtor.
That’s important because there isn’t as much money for realtors in rent to own deals as in traditional sales. Therefore, finding a realtor to help you is rare.
While the listed activities might be easier with a professional, they’re all possible without one. To successfully rent to own without a realtor learn all you can about it.
About Our Listings
When you rent to buy a condo or a townhouse, you’re taking the first step toward becoming a homeowner. You can take advantage of many rent to own by owner programs with no credit check. Having bad credit shouldn’t stop you from owning one of your favorite apartments or houses.
While you lease-option or lease-purchase, you’ll work on improving your credit score and saving up a down payment so that you can qualify with the bank for the house you’re interested in. The bank is frugal with mortgage approvals because they often end up selling foreclosed homes for cheap prices because people cannot afford their mortgage payments.
When you lease to purchase, you’re making yourself into a better candidate for purchasing properties. Check out Rent to Own Lab’s free listings to find properties near me that meet your family’s needs.
