What is Rent to Own Program?


Rent to own simply means that you rent the home with an option to buy it within a pre-defined period of time. The deal involves an ‘Option to Purchase Agreement’ plus an Occupancy Agreement.
The future purchase price of the home is set in the agreement as well making it a long-term rent plus mortgage hybrid combination.
There are many other names for ‘Rent to own’ program including lease option, lease to own, rent to buy or lease purchase.
 

Advantages of Rent to Own Homes


There are numerous advantages of rent to own homes compared to traditional lease concept.
But the biggest benefit is we say ‘Yes’ to our clients when the banks have refused their application. The prime advantages of this program include:  
 

A Typical Deal

Rent to Own Homes – A Typical Deal Example


Let’s assume the classic tenant case. He has been living off rent for all his life due to convenience and other budget considerations. In his mid 30’s he has probably lost thousands of dollars in rent. But he now has a good income and a stable job. But over the years, he hasn’t been able to build a good credit rating. Average credit rating of such tenants is in the mid 500’s or below average. But now, he wants to live in his own dream home. Below average credit score means that most of the banks and traditional lenders have rejected his mortgage application. For example, most people hunting for GTA homes for sale usually end up being rejected by banks due to tarnished credit rating. This is where rent to own homes programs kick in.
 
                       Tenant’s Maximum Monthly Payment = (Monthly Income/3) – Property Taxes – Misc. Charges

For Example, if your monthly income is $7,000 then as per the formula,
Max monthly Payment – ( $7,000 / 3 ) – $70 Misc Charges – $150 property tax = $ 2113 / Month
This means that you can afford $2,113 per month house.
Total Debt Service Ratio (TDS) – This is the payment you can afford to support your payments for your dream home. Banks and leading financial institutions consider around 40% TDS for credibility and approval.
 
TDS = Monthly Total Debt / Gross Monthly Income

Assuming your monthly expenses = $2,113 (House Rent) + $550 Monthly Expenses = $2,660
Now, TDS = $2,660 / $7,000 = 38%
Since, tenant’s TDS comes under 40%, most banks would simply approve the home loan application, provided the credit is good. If the credit score is not good, the banks will reject the mortgage loan.
Now, after being rejected by the banks, we suggest you try a rent to own homes program. Most of the below 40% TDS cases achieve success with our rent to own home program. In most probability, if your chosen home has a rent in close proximity to $2100, you can dream of owning the home. Add the advantage of generous rent credit and the tenant will have enough at the end of 2-3 years lease period for mortgage closing.
We offer:
  Now, no more money goes down the rent drain. Tenant is actually putting equity in the home they plan on buying some point in the future. Rent to own program is like the much needed lifeline for tenants with bruised credit score.
