Rent To Own Gets You Into Your Own Home Without Any Deposit

By Kerrie Kelso


In case you haven't heard rent to own systems, this actually allows people to obtain a home even without having huge amount of deposit. This is no joke and a lot of individuals have already benefitted from this system. Trying to save enough money to buy or build a home seems like impossible with the daily expenditures that seem to get higher every single day. If the bank keeps on rejecting your housing loan application, you should realise that there's another better solution.

Rent to own is just what it sounds like - you are renting but at the same time you have control over the house with additional paperwork to the tenancy agreement, making it possible to buy the property by the time comes that you have sufficient equity (or deposit) saved up to transfer over into bank finance.

Utilizing the system of rent to own, the buyer will directly have an agreement with the owner/seller of the property. By way of this agreement, a portion of the weekly 'rentals' will actually contribute to the saving of the deposit for the property. The term of payments and length varies however it normally ranges from two to 7 years.

Every rent to own transaction is different from another. The seller of the property may expect you to put forward a bond on the property (that you would have to do if you were renting alone), in order to cover the owner if something went wrong during the term of the Rent to Own transaction. Other sellers may need a bond along with one to two thousand dollars down as a down payment. The bond and the small deposit will come off the entire cost of the property.

The terms in rent to own transaction basically allows you to make improvements on the property, which in return can usually give you capital growth. At the end of the term, these improvements may be used as your deposit once you will be qualified over into bank finance.

Purchasing a home don't really need to be an impossible goal, and having not enough savings should not be a hindrance for you to own a home. Through rent to own, you will be introduced to a number of terms flexible enough for every buyer's financial limits. If you're a first home owner, there is also a grant called 'First Home Owners Grant' provided by the government that can be used as part of your deposit when financing into bank finance.

With rent to own, you won't need to wait for countless years to have adequate savings for your house purchase.
