The Benefits of Owning a Home Through Rent To Own

Rent To Own Ocala is run by a licensed Florida real estate brokerage, every agreement is drafted by an attorney, and your purchase price is locked in writing before you move in.

Homeownership Starts Here

It's a big decision whether to rent or own. Here are the reasons why rent to own gives you the freedom gives you the freedom to live life your way.

Your purchase price is locked from day one

No surprise rent increases

You're your own landlord

Paint, decorate & personalize freely

Energy-efficient new construction

Purchase price locked from day one

Rent credit applied at closing if you buy

Path to full mortgage ownership

No bank pre-approval to apply

Lease-Option

Renting

A home with a purchase price already set

Renting gives you a place to live. This gives you a place to live plus a written, exclusive right to buy it at a price fixed the day you sign.

If you exercise your option and close, a rent credit is applied as a concession at closing, and your option fee is applied to the purchase. The terms are in the agreement before you sign anything.

What happens at the end of your agreement?

Purchase at the locked-in price, with your rent credit and option fee applied at closing. Your lender processes the mortgage and you close on a home you have already been living in.

If your circumstances change, you're not obligated to buy. The option fee and credits are forfeited, but you've lived in a quality home with no further financial obligation.
