No, the price of the home will not go up. We freeze the price of the home for the duration of the lease option period (usually 24 to 36 months).
At anytime during that period, you can purchase the home for the option price. This way, you know the price of the home as you start working with your lender during the lease option time period.
Banks and mortgage lenders are picky! They prefer to do only the easiest and safest loans. Trying to please them and jumping through all the hoops can drive you crazy!
Perhaps one of these situations applies to you: bad credit, self-employed, short job history, past or present financial problems. Don’t worry, these problems don’t scare us! With our Rent to Own or Lease Purchase home programs, we will work with you to increase your credit and then you can actually buy the home and own it.
Of course! You’ll be glad to learn that you actually can buy a home with damaged credit. In fact, it’s quite common.
To do so often requires a flexible seller who is willing to help finance part of your purchase price. You see, there are a lot of lenders who specialize in financing homes for folks with credit problems. To reduce their risk, they may simply reduce the amount they loan. This means the buyer must have a big down payment or the seller must be willing to finance the difference on a second mortgage.
Getting you a loan is generally not a problem, however finding a flexible seller who doesn’t need all their cash immediately, may be more difficult. You may be surprised to learn how much of a home you can afford. Generally accepted standards say that your new house payment added to all your other monthly payments, should not exceed about 40% of your gross (that’s before income tax) for you and your spouse. Keep in mind, that does not include items like insurance, clothing, food, utilities, entertainment, etc.
You should add only those items with fixed payments such as cars, furniture, credit cards, mortgage, student loans, etc.. If an item doesn’t show on your credit report, it probably won’t count against you as a debt.
