What Is Rent-to-Own?
Rent-to-own is an arrangement where a buyer rents a home while working toward qualifying for a traditional mortgage. During this period, the goal is to improve financial qualifications while preparing for future homeownership.
​
This structure can benefit individuals who need time to strengthen credit, income stability, or overall financial readiness before purchasing a home.
