Rent now, buy later
Apply for a home you can rent now and buy later
Some of the homes we offer can be leased with an option to buy, and some sellers offer financing. Tell us where you want to live and what you can afford. We keep your application on file and contact you when a home fits.
The application takes about 5 minutes. It does not ask for a Social Security number, and it does not pull your credit.
Go to the applicationHow it works
Step 1
Apply once
Give us your contact details, the area you want, your income, and what you have saved for upfront costs.
Step 2
We review it
Every application is reviewed with the same written criteria: income against the monthly payment, upfront money, and a realistic path to a mortgage.
Step 3
We contact you when a home fits
Before any agreement is signed there is a full screening through a screening service (credit, rental history, background, and income), and the owner approves the applicant.
What to know before you apply
- An application is not an approval and does not hold a home for you.
- A lease with an option to buy is a lease plus the right to buy the home at a set price by a set date. It is not a purchase, and it is not a loan.
- The option fee is paid up front and pays for the option. It is not a down payment. It is not refunded if you do not buy, and it does not come off the price unless that home's agreement says it does.
- To buy the home you still need a mortgage or cash before the option ends. We cannot promise that you will qualify.
- Rent, the option fee, the price, and the term are different for every home and are written in that home's agreement. Read it, and consider having your own attorney read it, before you sign.
