Rent-to-own (lease-option) maybe the best way to achieve your American Dream

 

Rent to own, otherwise known as lease option, is a type of residential lease between a tenant-buyer and the landlord, which contains a clause that gives the tenant-buyer the right to purchase the house at an agreed-upon price after a certain time, say 1-3 years. The idea is that the tenant-buyer would build a solid financial footing during the lease term, and at the end of the lease term, the tenant-buyer would obtain conventional financing through normal channel that may not be available otherwise. At the lease signing, the tenant-buyer pays the seller a small amount of option fee. During the lease term, there is normally a small extra amount each month that is credited to the purchase price. Therefore, at the end of the lease, the buyer not only have improved his/her financial situation, (s)he would also have accumulated a sizeable equity in the house, which would qualify as part of the down payment.

There are many benefits to do rent-to-own (lease-option) when purchasing a house. Some are listed here:

·     Get to know the ins-and-outs of the house before plunging in. While a normal buyer may spend anywhere between 2-10 hours of time in his/her dream house before making an offer, and that is after multiple visits, you get to stay in your dream house for a year or two. Every little detail will be clear to you.

·     With a small initial option fee and a small extra monthly rent that will be applied to the purchase price, rent-to-own is a good way to build up the much-needed down payment before getting a conventional loan. This is especially useful for people who love shopping (like yours truly).

·     With regular on-time payment of rent, rent-to-own/lease-option may also help to build a solid credit, as some landlord reports on-time payment of rental to the credit reporting agencies. With longer history of on-time rental payment, the tenant’s credit score will improve. A high enough credit score is the first step to get a loan, and also an efficient way to lower the cost of such a loan.

 

With these benefits and a good house that you already know, you will enjoy a head start in achieving your American Dream.
