| If
your desire to own a home is hindered by your bad credit, lack of
credit, self employment issues or you simply want to avoid the two
month financing hassle when going to a traditional lender then we can help.
|
| What
is a Lease Purchase? You lease the home for a
specified period of time; usually up to a 3 year period, and during
that term you purchase the home for a predetermined price.
You sign a lease agreement with us and a purchase agreement
which would give you the exclusive right to buy the home. This
means that you and only you could buy the home during the term of
our agreement. 100% of your down payment is applied to the
purchase price of the home. |
|
How did Lease Purchase Get
Started? Many people want to buy a home, but because of certain
events in their life they cannot buy right now. People have a strong
desire to own a home, but lenders are unwilling to help them.
This is where we can help . The Lease Purchase program was designed
to allow our customers to be on their way to home ownership with
less money down than conventional financing while they correct their
credit problems.
|
| Does your down
payment go towards the purchase price of the home? YES, whatever money you put down on your home in our program goes 100%
toward the purchase price. No more wasted money on landlord
rents! So if you put $5,000 down on a $145,000 home you would
then owe only $140,000. The $5,000 is applied to the purchase
price of the home as part of your down payment requirement. |
| How much rent goes
towards the purchase price of the home? Stop throwing money away each month for an apartment. With our
Lease/Purchase Program a fixed portion of your monthly rent is
contributed towards the purchase price of the home. This rate varies
between $50 and $150 per month depending on the home and your credit
situation. For example: if you put down $5,000 on a home and
you were given a monthly contribution of $100.00 for 36 months you
would have a total down payment of $8,600.00. |
|
Is
BAD CREDIT workable?
Our main requirement is a good down payment, and a good job-
showing your ability to make monthly payments. We can work
with past credit issues. We realize that people who put good down
payments together are serious about buying a home. To
learn how we can assist you with your credit issues please read
about our credit program.
|
| How much do I need for
a down payment? It will vary with your credit but most of the time it is
2%
to 5%! We have worked with less, but keep in mind, the more money
you put down, the lower your monthly payment is. |
|
How
long a time period can I go With a Lease Option?
Our Lease-Purchase buyers usually go up to three years in our
program before they buy. This gives them time to get their
credit cleaned up and to save some additional money for a down
payment if needed. They then go to the lender of their choice,
get a loan, and then they OWN THE HOME
|
| What if I can't get a
bank loan within three years? We are always willing to renew
leases and to continue to work with our customers as long as it
takes. We have never asked anyone to move because they could not buy
the home. Some families have purchased after leasing for
7 years. |

approval process take? In most cases we can approve you within

application or print
an application to fax or mail. |
Can you be flexible
with the down payment? YES, we realize that putting
together a down payment can be difficult, so we do everything we can
to help make it as easy as possible. To help you get your down
payment you can :
-
If you
have a good portion of your down payment now we can make
arrangements to take the remaining amount in future payments.
-
Borrow from your 401K or other
retirement accounts. Real Estate is the best investment you can
make.
-
Ask
relatives or friends to lend or give you the money.
