When owning a home an individual has two options: purchasing one via a mortgage or participating in a rent-to-own. The way rent-to-own works is that the tenant, or buyer, enters a lease agreement with the current homeowner (seller). The tenant agrees to live in the house and pay rent for a specific amount of time. When the time ends then the tenant can purchase the property.

Rent-to-own houses can have their advantages if the renters aren’t financially stable enough to obtain a mortgage, but still want to live in a house. Companies like Ownerwiz and others provide help for potential home buyers who aren’t quite ready to take on a mortgage. Such businesses also provide listings of available rent to own homes for those individuals who may be looking. Still, renting to own isn’t necessarily right for everyone and you need to determine whether the process is right for you.

Renting to own, sometimes referred to as lease option, does not involve a bank and is similar to renting an apartment. For example, the renter and homeowner agree to the terms of the lease option. Typically the lease is a pre-determined amount of time such as three years.

The financing, also called seller financing, consists of the property owner agreeing to accept all or a portion for the payments in the predetermined amount of time. The property owner can charge interest on the remaining balance due at the end of the lease option.

Also included in the lease option is a consideration fee or down payment. The fee is similar to a security deposit because it’s paid up front. The consideration fee may or may not be included with an elevated monthly rent. Usually, the homeowner sets aside a portion of the fee. If the tenant decides to purchase the house, the amount is then used as a down payment. Generally, the down payment is larger than required with traditional financing.

The lease option provides a tenant with a set purchase price. This can be an advantage or disadvantage. It can be an advantage if the value of the home increases. However, if something similar to the housing bubble occurs then the negotiated price could be higher than the value.

Renting a home does have additional advantages for the buyer. The lease option generally favors the buyer. Also, the option allows the tenant to “tryout” the house before investing years or a large sum of money.

Leasing the property eliminates much of the potential obstacles related to going through the conventional home buying process. For example, a banker isn’t going check the person’s credit score. A banker can’t determine which house the tenant can or can’t afford.

In fact, renting a home often provides a person the additional time needed to improve their credit score, find stable employment and understand what buying a home is all about.

Before entering into the rent-to-own agreement, an individual should be ready to take on the responsibly of caring for property. The tenant must take care of the maintenance and bills such as water. These bills are in addition to paying rent. Also, missing a payment means risk breaking the lease option.

Regardless of whether the housing market is soaring or not, a person can benefit from renting a home before buying it. Research rent to own companies like Ownerwiz Realty to find out if they can be of assistance to you. The lease option helps make the American Dream possible.
