How Does Rent to Own Work

  • I find myself answering this question numerous times per day so I figured it’s way over due that I post an explanation. If you prefer to listen to the audio a few times simply dial 855.66PREFO (77336), X 824. There is a video post before this one on the blog as well.
    Approximately 82% of the market cannot qualify TODAY for financing and typically would need to improve their credit to do so. Alternatively, other buyers with good credit are looking for a way to buy now while they save more instead of renting while they save.
    We offer lease purchase (rent to own) properties only - no straight rent. All properties will require 3%-10% down and that is credited against your purchase price. You then pay a monthly lease payment. Some homes feature a small amount of that monthly also crediting the price and some do not. Some homes also feature our Down Payment Assistance Program. That works like this: on any given month you can put an extra payment toward the purchase price of $100-$500 ($100 increments) and receive a credit against the purchase price of 50% more. For example, if you have a month when you feel you can put an additional $200 down for your down payment, you receive $300 credit. The maximum in one month is $500 down so $750 credit. You can always put more down to improve your down payment for future financing, but the free equity you’ll get with the Down Payment Assistance Program is capped at $500.
    During the course of the lease, you can use our credit consulting service we will refer you to. Whether you lease purchase one of our homes or not, you can certainly use them. They will give you a free consulting session and you can decide which course(s) of action to take with them. You access their site and schedule your first call here: www.MyCreditTea... and use promo code: prefo.
    Sometime between 6 months and 24 months they can typically get you in great shape for your own loan. The time frame on our lease purchase properties ranges from 24 months to 10 years so you’re never rushed and we’ll help you purchase on your own eventually.
    If you have not seen one of our properties yet, your next step would be to go ahead and schedule a viewing. Some are on lock boxes and you just need to get the instructions from us and others require private or group viewing with an owner.
    All listings are on www.PrePropertySolutions.com and they only stay up while available and typically don’t last long!

    If you CAN NOT AFFORD OR QUALIFY for a home now you will not be able to afford it then! I most certainly follow Dave Ramsey teachings but i also use common sense... so if you can not get a traditional home mortgage you are either in debt (that you need to pay off) or your income is not stable... youneed to get your affairs in order first! There is nothing wrong with wanting a house BUT you will be broke in a house trying to afford it! And if you have 3-20% down in a “rental property “ use that money to PAY OFF YOUR DEBTS WHICH IS WHY YOU COULD NOT GET A MORTGAGE! You have to walk before you can run

      Britt R well said Britt. I agree with most of what you said. My personal opinion though is that Ramsey is good people and means well, but his plan is designed to keep you in the middle class. (Becoming a millionaire late in life, adjusted with inflation, you’ll probably be still living a middle class lifestyle.. nothing wrong with it)
      I mix Dave Ramsey’s approach with that of Robert Kiyosaki’s to build wealth faster.

If you have aspirations of wealth or entrepreneurship, the Dave Ramsey philosophy will not work for you. Leveraging OPM will get you there but Dave hates OPM because he thinks it's debt, bondage, and a poverty mindset.

    So I have been told ~ Do not sign a contract UNTIL you get Pre-Qualified for the loan amount for OR else you can lose everything at the end of the contract if you can not get approved. So you loose everything you have invested in the home, improvements repairs *which you the leaser) is responsible for once contract is signed...So NEVER sign a contract Without being Pre-Approved for a Home Loan 1st so you know how much you qualify for...Have someone who knows how it works with you b4 signing anything.

      100% of our tenant/buyers are pre screened and if you are not able to be "mortgage ready" within the time frame we need for that particular home, we wouldn't accept you. We set you up to succeed not to fail.

    • @gregm1733
      @gregm1733 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      "So I have been told" - that's the real problem with the internet. With all due respect, you use the terms "pre-qualified" and "pre-approved" as if they are the same. Neither of those are possible 2 years before the fact. The mortgage broker will "PRE-SCREEN" the tenant/buyers, and based on their improving situation, and maybe a credit repair company's forecast, will give an OPINION of whether these folks will be "mortgage ready" in 2 years. Sorry, Pre Property Solutions for "borrowing" some of your words.
      Again, see a good real estate attorney who can write you some protective clauses.

    Rent to own is great. I paid 300 dollars a month for 5 years and now I own it. Didn't even have to sign a contract it was just a verbal agreement with me and the land lord. I paid up and he signed it over. What more could you ask for.

    do not rent to own. My coworker went that route and the owner died. Owner’s child is reclaiming the house and my coworker is going through court to get her money back. I’d just rent normally, save for a down payment and get your own house when you’re able to.

      No the price is set when the deal is done. If the price goes up then the seller would be happy, if it goes down then the purchaser would be happy. You’re agreeing on the price that day, just like if you were buying it. Now if you agreed the price and you put 10% down and the house value dropped 10% then you basically can buy or walk away. At that point it’s a wash. If the price goes up then you have instant equity. It’s a risk, but house prices always bounce back so long term it’s a good deal

    Hi is great info thank, i looking to get info about this and there is something what can see yet, when I made a rent to own, let say I made a lease to the tenant for 2 years, at the end of that time I will sell them the property and that’s all???, they will looking for a lender who going to pay to my lender and my lender going to pay me the difference??? So if I buy a house 100k I put 20k if I rent to own and sell that in 110k my lender is going to give me 30k?? So rent to own is like sell property without realtor , and helping people to own a property if they need a house but they don’t have a credit scores or the down ??? Or I will keep the property for 30years and tenant will pay me rent and extra money for the value of the house ?

    He will be losing on this house. he bought it for $190,000 but it is only worth around $125,000 these days. My question is, how is the monthly payment determined? Will i be covering his mortgage right now? the one he got when the house was worth $190,000? or will a new payment be created on the new price of the house?

      Hi there - you'd want to do a straight rental or lease if you think you may move, but we don't do those, sorry. Only alternative because the market is trending upward finally is to lock in your price on the 24-36 month lease/purchase and then you can always sell it at the end. That does assume appreciation though so it's not without risk of course. I do think a straight rental is safer for you until you know you're staying. Hope that helps.

    Dude... are you serious? You have no clue what you are saying and are scrambling for words the entire video. Pulling bulling BS out of no where. Is this an educational video or did you post this as practice. Not to be mean but here's some feedback you desperately need. How about you begin by explaining who this "lease payment is going to" and "where this 3%-10% is being "held" for a down payment later on. Who and why is it being held? You're literally saying there is a program called a "rent to own" and "yes you can do it" and "I can help" but don't divulge into what it is or how it works. You wrote 6 numbers down like you know what you're talking about. No, this didn't help and the only thing you seem to actually KNOW is that someone can sign (their life away) and get into a home in a week. People are looking for clarity on what they're signing, not that they can screw themselves in under a week.

      Duuuude, surf's up. Yes, he is serious; you seem to be the one who has no clue what he is saying. He was not not at all scrambling for words - you are apparently scrambling for understanding, and, as is so common with the mean-spirited trolls from the TH-cam watchers, you start bashing away with nothing to offer. He is doing what many good entrepreneurs do on TH-cam; condensing the subject down to less than 10 minutes and giving you a way to connect for more information, hoping to drum up more business. This is not a college course on real estate principals. Another point for the "life is either black or white" crowd: As he briefly pointed out in the video, all businesses have some bad apples. And some rent-to-own (lease-option) deals are indeed con jobs by shady landlord/investors. But many are a great opportunity for buyers test out the home and neighborhood, while improving their credit score. It's just a matter of constructing an equitable deal.
      The reality in the U.S. today is that very few people have the discipline to save money, nor the knowledge of how to improve their credit. The lease-option motivates them and makes it happen "in spite of themselves". The transaction needs to be done right to avoid favoring one side or the other.
      I am a licensed RE agent and an investor, and have done lease many lease-option deals, both as a buyer and seller. I have lost money as a seller by giving the tenant/buyers an option to purchase just before the market took off. I would have made a nice profit had I waited to sell. But the tenant/buyers benefited nicely from the appreciation. So, it can work both ways. What if the market goes down and you're holding the option to buy? Well, first, you don't have to buy - it's not a bilateral agreement - it's unilateral. The seller must sell to only you (or assigns), so you have the legal right to say "sorry, we're not buying", and just walk. Yes, you will probably lose your option consideration (which is why a buyer should try to keep the option money to a minimum) but you would also lose (probably much more) had you done a traditional transaction (oh, the short sale memories I have!).
      Also...the bank may not make the loan based on the lower appraisal. Best thing to do is to re-negotiate the transaction with the seller, (which we've done) pointing out that, if we walk he would get less if he attempted to sell outright in the current market. Why not continue (extend this lease-option) with a new compromised price?
      As this post is longer than I intended, I'll sum up by saying that in general, many tenant/buyers are unsophisticated and can get themselves involved in a sloppy deal, and thus the urban legend is born; "rent-to-own is a scam, don't do it, blah blah blah". My two-part advice, then, to all potential tenant/buyers would be to:
      1) Stay away from real estate agents and brokers who don't own investment property; they don't understand lease-options and most are living commission-to-commission - they need that fix right now, not 2 years from now.
      2) Cough up a few hundred bucks and see a good real estate attorney - they're worth their weight in gold.

      Closing costs to buyer and seller at final financing/closing? Those would be just like any other conventional sale so buyer and seller would incur their own expenses unless otherwise written in the contract. Hope that answered your questions.

    Can you use other financers that require a low down or no down or do you have to use this financer and also did you say you have to put 20 K down to take it off the market? what does that mean, you can be in it and saving toward buying it and someone else can take it from under you that has 20 K ---I didn't understand that and also just as a tip---your presentation is good but slow down when you talk, I had to listen like 3 times to get what you said as it is very fast.

    • @gregm1733
      @gregm1733 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Angel, You definitely don't have to put $20K down to take it off the market - it's all negotiable. We advise tenant/buyers to try for the minimum, but the sellers usually want to see at least 3 %. He was just giving an example of tenant/buyers who "absolutely had to have this house", which a buyer should never do. It's just lumber and sheet rock. Hold onto that cash if you can.
      And, once the option agreement is signed nobody can "take it from under you" because you have the exclusive right to buy. The seller can not sell the house to anyone but you. A good way to insure this is to record a "memorandum of option" in the county courthouse/records where the house is located. Failing that, the threat of a lawsuit from a real attorney (not you just saying it) will make them weak in the knees.
      As for your first question (I'm going backwards), the seller is not your "financer"- he is not financing (loaning) you any money. He is really just a landlord/owner who is waiting for you to exercise your option, at which point you will then go see the financier - the bank/lender who will make you the loan. It's just like a traditional transaction - just delayed - like a super long escrow.
      Yes, he spoke really fast, but I don't think he meant this video to be a basic training. For that I would recommend Wendy Patton, from Michigan, and one of her books called "Rent to Buy". I'm not affiliated with her business, but she has helped me immensely. And please see my post above for my two little bits of advice for tenant/buyers. Don't go it alone. Good luck and happy holidays.

      its not a scam, you get pre-qualified to make sure your credit will get you the loan you need. if you have sucky credit you wont qualify for the rent to own program anyway. If you have a good broker, they will explain this to you.

    • @Sexy18Droid
      @Sexy18Droid 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The money is only in the trash, if you don't exercise your option to purchase. When you do exercise the purchase option, the money is put toward your down payment or equity for the buyer. The buyer has significant leverage as well as they can reap the benefit of a market trending up. (Ex. if the contract is signed at $100,000 and in 3 years it appreciates 1% each year, that $3,000 in equity is for the buyer to keep should they buy the house.)
