Step #1- The Rent 2 Own Road Map.
Unfortunately…
If you fail to follow the Rent 2 Own road map you will likely end up failing to purchase your Rent 2 Own home and completely swear off the idea of rent to own all together.
Following the rent to own road map is that important!
Common Pitfalls When the Road Map is Not Followed:
- You fail to qualify for a mortgage before option period expires (Losing your Home)
- You move into a home that is priced higher than you can qualify for (Unable To Buy)
- You fail to close because you didn’t understand the actual closing costs (Unaffordable)
- You end up with a house payment $500 or more above your original rent(Unaffordable)
…And the list goes on!
Navigating the Rent 2 Own Road Map only takes a few minutes of your time and can prevent months of frustration and disappointment!
Step #2 Speak to a Mortgage Professional
Don’t Sign ANY Rent 2 Own Contracts just Yet!
About now, you’re sitting back, cruising down the Rent 2 Own road map, and you think you’re ready to race head first into a contract for that perfect Rent 2 Own home, right?
WRONG! You need to speak to a lender NOW, before getting more serious about a Rent 2 Own home. Mortgage professionals are on your side. They will review the most up-to-date mortgage guidelines with you to simplify the Rent 2 Own process.
The requirements to qualify for a mortgage are constantly changing! So even though you aren’t planning to purchase the home today, you still need to VERIFY that your family’s income can qualify you for your target purchase price. A mortgage lender can help you determine a timeline for you (and your family) to likely qualify for a mortgage.
The LAST thing you want to do is move into a Rent 2 Own home under a contract you can’t fulfill! I would hate to see you pay $5,000 or likely more upfront for a contract to purchase a home in 12 months, only to find out several months later you stood no chance of qualifying for a mortgage within the next 24 months. There goes your $5,000 down the drain!
Our process gets this hurdle out of the way immediately!
Oh, By the Way, Don’t Expect the Seller to Assist YOU
The vast majority (99%) of Sellers offering their home as a Rent 2 Own are not going to help you figure out if you can qualify for a mortgage within the time frame you both agree to. They either don’t know how to help you, and all too often, they just don’t care. Qualifying for a mortgage is your challenge to deal with, not theirs.
Our Quick and Easy Way!
We have developed a network of local mortgage lenders extremely familiar with our Rent 2 Own process. In your Rent 2 Own mortgage consultation, your loan officer will go to work for you to help you understand how to move forward quickly and safely.
Your Rent to Own Mortgage Officer Will Answer the Following:
- Based on your current credit, how long will it be before you could qualify for a mortgage?
- Based on your income and debt, what home price point can you plan on qualifying for?
- What items on your credit report do you need to work on?
- What you should expect to pay for a down payment and closing costs based on the size of the mortgage you could qualify for?
Make sure to write down the answers to these questions! The home price estimates, down payment amount, and closing costs will be useful numbers in the upcoming steps, especially when beginning your Rent 2 Own search.
Step #3 Credit Restoration?
Now that you have your credit report as provided by your mortgage professional, what’s next?
It is very important to check your credit report for any and all blemishes and discrepancies. Take time to look it over and understand your report.
Do you see anything negative or inaccurate?
Even the smallest credit blemish may affect your chances of buying your Rent 2 Own home!
So You Ask “How do I Repair My Credit?”
All three credit bureaus will provide you with information on how to challenge a blemish or error on your credit report. Typically, they will have you fill out a lot of paperwork and submit a long explanation of why you feel the report is inaccurate.
We have seen many try this before, and from what we have observed, the process takes FOREVER and the credit bureaus show little, if any, concern for you or your credit challenges. Frankly most people just give up!
