Introduction
Owning a home is a dream shared by many, but the path to homeownership can be a challenging one, especially if you're facing credit issues or struggling to save for a substantial down payment. At Simple Start Homes, we understand these hurdles and have crafted a Rent-to-Own program designed to make your homeownership dreams a reality.
What Is Rent-to-Own?
Rent-to-Own, also known as a lease option, is a unique approach to homeownership that bridges the gap between renting and buying. It's a pathway to securing a home where you begin by renting the property with the option to purchase it at a fixed price at a later date.
The Rent-to-Own Process
Our Rent-to-Own program is designed to be straightforward and accessible. Here's how it works:
Low Down Payment: On average, our program requires just $10,000 as a down payment, making homeownership more achievable.
5-Year Option Period: During this period, you'll rent the home and have the exclusive option to purchase it at a locked-in price. This gives you time to secure traditional financing, repair your credit, or build proof of income.
Flexibility: If, during the option period, you come up with a higher down payment (usually 10 percent), you can transition to owner financing through us, gaining ownership rights immediately.
Ownership Benefits: Throughout your journey, you enjoy the rights to the home, including any appreciation it accrues. You even have the option to sell the property if you decide it's time to move on, as long as the loan is paid off.
Benefits of Rent-to-Own
Our Rent-to-Own program offers several benefits:
Accessible Path to Homeownership: It's an excellent choice if you face credit challenges or have limited down payment funds.
Price Security: The purchase price is locked in during the option period, protecting you from market fluctuations.
Flexibility and Control: You have the flexibility to transition to ownership and control over your home's destiny.
Build Equity: As you make rental payments, you build equity and work toward owning your home.
Conclusion
At Simple Start Homes, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their homeownership dreams. Our Rent-to-Own program provides a clear path to homeownership, offering flexibility, security, and the chance to build equity.
