Rent to Own Homes in Sterling
Buying vs. Rent to Own Homes
To buy a house, you (1) look at the homes available for purchase, (2) pick the house you want, (3) pay the seller the cost of the home and (4) you get the house. That’s the basic gist of the traditional home buying process.
All the steps of the traditional home buying process are present in the rent to own process. The difference is that renting to own has an additional step between Step 2 and Step 3. Step 2.5 is to rent the home for a maximum of three years until you are ready to continue to Step 3.
During Step 2.5, you’re working on improving your credit score, building a steady job history and saving up a down payment so that you can qualify for financing. Once you have financing, you can move on to Step 3.
Rent to own is a good way to prepare for buying a property. Once you do buy, you won’t have to spend money on rent any longer. So, the sooner you can buy, the better.
Rent to Own Realtors
Using a realtor for your rent to own deal can offer great benefits. Agents are well versed in real estate so they can effectively communicate opportunities and discern which of those opportunities is a legitimately good deal.
Nonetheless, not a lot of realtors will want to help with your rent to own deal because upfront profit for a realtor is minimal and the big payout down the line is not a guarantee.
That means you’ll have to do a little research to ensure that you make the best decisions, but you will save money on commission.
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.
