"Rent to Own" or "Lease with Option to Buy" real estate contracts may be a creative and beneficial arrangement for both buyers and sellers given the right circumstances. There are very few situations like this in the region. However if a buyer meets certain criteria, often times a seller can be persuaded to accept this type of contract.

If you are a person or family looking for a home and wanting to explore this option,  please let me know. I may be able to help you get on the right track to (or back to) home ownership.

I have developed a Rent to Own program for those who wish to create a better living situation for themselves. 

These are the requirements and key ingredients to ensure success:

1)   Motivation, determination and patience.

2)   Credit worthiness or the solid commitment to work on repairing credit.

3)   Financial ability (Income or future potential income) to afford the home and possibly work on repairing credit.

4)   Finding a property that can either be financed or repaired to become financeable (Note: bank repos will not qualify).

5)   Having a seller willing to participate in a "Rent to Own" or "Lease with Option" contract.

6)   Willingness of the buyer to work with financial and Real Estate professionals.
