You make a down payment to secure your option to buy, then monthly payments just like rent. Your down payment and a portion of every on-time monthly payment are credited toward the purchase, and you buy the home from us in two years or less — often without spending any additional money. 5%+ down payment built 2 yrs or less to purchase $0 extra often needed How it works It starts with a simple standard rent application. We help you set the right home value by looking at the money you have available for a down payment and a monthly payment you can afford — typically under one-third of your gross household income. During the lease we pay the real estate property taxes and the homeowner's insurance; you cover the utilities, maintenance, and your renter's insurance policy — treating the home as your own, because soon it will be.
