As you see more signs in front of homes indicating that you could “rent to own” or “lease to buy”, you might be wondering if this offer will work out for your advantage.  

     Following are what you should know about a rent to own. It may have several structure options, but most contain these items:

1. This type of rental payment is just like any other kind of renting or leasing. All the main items are applicable, such as late fees, and failure to pay the rent could possibly lead to your eviction in the property.

2. There will be an option price, or the purchase price of the property.

3.  In a lease to buy, you will have a payment option or otherwise known as the down payment. This is a fee upfront to be given to the owner or the person in charged of the property. This payment will be credited to the purchase price and in most cases non-refundable in the event you do not exercise your option to purchase the property.

4. A rent credit is usually applied to the purchase price if you exercise your option to buy the home. The Rent Credits are not considered as actual money sitting in a bank account, but this fund is necessary in lowering the purchase price of the home, or later on for the closing costs.

What benefits can a rent to own give you?

1. A rent to own home is much easier than other kinds of owner financing. Since a rent to own is easier to understand and structure, it tends to be more available nowadays. Rent to own terms is at least 12 to 24 months and some even as long as 48 months, giving you enough time to resolve whatever credit issues you may have.

2. You are not obligated to purchase the property, remember that this is an option offered by the homeowner to you. In most cases, this will benefit you. Instead of throwing rent out, it’s much better to consider getting rental credits and a locked in purchase price. Aside from ensuring that you and your family will have a home to call your own, this is also a wise investment, since acquiring a property is a very good real estate investment.

3. On average, the monthly payment and the down payment is lower compared to other types of owner financing. You do not quite shoulder the responsibilities of ownership until you bring your own financing.

     Rent-to-own has become very common in today’s real estate market. If you are in search of a new home, this deal could be beneficial for you. You might want to consider it this way; a rent to own surely works for you because as soon as you decide to buy the home, you need not spend more money on moving costs since you are already settled in comfortably.  Consider the money on rent as your monthly investment towards owning a home for you and your family.
