What Are Rent to Own Homes?

Rent to own homes, also known as lease-to-own or rent to buy homes, are a type of agreement in which a person rents a property with the option to purchase it at a later date. This arrangement allows tenants to live in the property as renters while also having the opportunity to buy it in the future. Rent to own homes can be a beneficial option for individuals who may not have the immediate financial means to purchase a home but want to work towards eventual ownership.

    Become A Homeowner

    Congratulations! You’re a homeowner.

    At the end of the rent to home process, you’ll be financially secure and qualify for a traditional mortgage. Now, you can buy the home at the predetermined purchase price making you a homeowner.

How Rent to Own Agreements Work

Rent to own agreements work by allowing a tenant to rent a property with the intention of purchasing it at a later date. In these agreements, with the help of a rent to own agent, we work to help the future homeowner build up their credit score by arranging manageable monthly payments. After a period of 1-3 years, the tenant will often have improved their credit score and saved a down payment to qualify for a traditional mortgage, becoming a full homeowner!

Hello, and welcome to JAAG Properties. The goal of this video is to explain how JAAG’s rent-to-home solutions works so that you can determine if it’s the right fit for you and your family. JAAG is dedicated to helping families become homeowners through our unique Rent To Own Program. We help individuals who are unable to obtain a conventional mortgage get into their chosen homes today. Here’s how it works.

How JAAG’s Rent To Own Program Works

The first step is to complete our rent-to-own application, which you can obtain here: jaagproperties.com/pre-approval-form/. All we require is that you have a steady stream of income and a deposit. We will approve you for a specific purchase price. You are then able to work with a realtor to find your chosen home. If you are already working with a realtor, you are welcome to continue to work with that realtor to pick any home that is for sale and fits your needs.

When you find a home, JAAG will buy the home. Instead of paying a full down payment on the home, you will make a smaller deposit to JAAG. The minimum deposit is 3% of the purchase price. The entire deposit goes directly towards the purchase of your new home. This down payment ensures that you have a right to the property and that the agreed upon purchase price will not change within the Rent To Own Program. This payment is called the initial option consideration.

On closing day, you move into your new home and start the Rent To Own Program. The Rent To Own Program typically runs for 36 months but can be sped up to 24 months or lengthened to 48 months if needed. Keep in mind that these term lengths are not fixed, and you can complete the Rent To Own Program at any time. JAAG only requires the first month’s rent when you move into your new home and do not require you to pay last month’s rent deposit.

Building Credit with JAAG’s Support

Throughout the Rent To Own Program, a portion of your monthly payment will be credited and added to your initial option consideration. This monthly credit is called the monthly option consideration. One of the benefits of working with JAAG is that we have a full credit team that is available to you during the entire Rent To Own Program. Our credit team will work with you to rebuild your credit, fix any credit issues, and ensures you are successful throughout the term. The credit team will work with you to obtain a mortgage by the end of the term. This saves you from having to shop around or apply to the bank for a mortgage.

How Our Rent To Own Program Works in Practice

Let’s take a look at a quick example with simple easy to remember numbers. Let’s say you find a home that you love, and the purchase price is $500,000. With an initial option consideration of $24,000, your estimated monthly payment would be around $4,500. Your $4,500 monthly payment will cover the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, plus the monthly option consideration. In this case, JAAG would save you approximately $1,000 per month as your monthly option consideration. Over a thirty-six-month term, this would create an additional $36,000. At the end of the Rent To Own Program, the initial option consideration of $24,000 plus the additional monthly option considerations of $36,000 would be credited to you. You now have a total of $60,000 to use for your down payment on your mortgage.

Why Choose JAAG Properties

Here are just a few reasons why people love our rent to home solutions. You get to start living in your home today even before you have good credit and the full down payment. You won’t have to move again if a landlord sells a rental. You can purchase the property at any time within the Rent To Own Program and the purchase price will not increase. The purchase price of your home is predetermined and agreed upon at the beginning of the Rent To Own Program. During a normal rental, you are unable to build equity. However, with JAAG’s unique Rent To Own Program, any added equity or completed renovations means money in your pocket. Nothing beats appreciation. The program gives you plenty of time to shop around and wait for the best interest rate on your mortgage. This allows you to get the lowest monthly mortgage rate possible. We are flexible with our monthly payments, purchase prices, and other terms to customize the Rent To Own Program to ensure your success. When your mortgage is approved, you purchase your home without the hassle of having to move again. And the best part is you don’t have to pay any realtor commissions.
