It’s not uncommon to see craigslist adverts that provide people with a chance to own a home with just a small payment upfront and then “earn your way” into a house over time.
There are a few names for that… but “rent2own”, “lease to own”, and “lease purchase” are a few.
If you’re looking for a quality rent2own in Houston… you may be wondering how you can find free rent2own in Houston to own home listings in Houston to see if you can find a house that’s right for you.
First, if you’re not sure what a rent2own in Houston is… or the process… keep reading this website and check out our FAQ section.
Renting to own a local Houston house can be a great option for people who are struggling to qualify for a home mortgage because of their credit or not enough cash for a large down payment.
This option benefits both the buyer as well as the seller. The former gets to move into his or her dream home quickly while the latter gets a series of long-term payments and is able to sell their house to a broader pool of potential “tenant buyers”.
Finding the right rent-to-own home listings is Houston can be tough sometimes.
What we’d suggest is that you do your research and get on a few lists that show you local rent-to-own houses in and around Houston.
Places you can find these lists of available rent2own in Houston
- On This Website: Our company, Sell Your Homes Houston , is a local real estate investment firm that buys and sells houses. One of the ways we sell our houses often is on a rent-to-own basis. So you can join our Local Rent To Own Property List over here >>You’ll get email alerts anytime a new property is available. A huge benefit of being on our rent-to-own house list for Houston TX houses is that you’ll be the first one to see the properties BEFORE we list them on this website. More than half of our rent-to-own houses never even make it to this website because they get snapped up by people on our Houston Rent To Own Property List.
- Local Real Estate Agents: Reach out to reputable Houston real estate agents and see if they have any rent-to-own houses available. Agents tend to stay away from rent-to-own houses, but some area agents do offer rent-to-own properties.
- Craigslist: Craigslist can be a solid source of rent-to-own / lease option houses in the Houston area… and the entire rest of TX for that matter. We even list some of our properties on there from time to time. One thing to look out for when you look on Craigslist though is to make sure that the person you’re renting from is actually authorized to rent you the house. In recent years there have been scammers taking advantage of people on Craigslist. So, just make sure you’re working with a house seller that you can verify is legitimate.
A Bit More Info About Renting To Own A Houston House…
The tougher lending standards and the declining buyer market are pushing sellers of houses in Houston to help potential home buyers get into houses even though they can’t qualify for a bank loan.
The way our rent-to-own agreements work is, you as the buyer, are given a chance to rent the property for a given period of time with an option to buy the house sometime in the future…. usually 2 years from today.
That gives you as the buyer enough time to evaluate the neighborhoods, the house, and improve your financial situation before making a long-term commitment to owning the property. Families can also move into the property even when they don’t have adequate financing power.
We love working with rent-to-own tenants/buyers because we get a tenant who has a long-term vested interest in the property and we get a consistent rental payment while you improve your credit so you can get a home loan at the end of the agreement to buy the house.
There are pros and cons to renting to own a house… which we go over on this website and in other articles… and it’s advisable that you understand the pitfalls which come with this form of homeownership… along with the huge benefits we can offer with our local rent to own/lease option house program.
