Yes. Rent to own is built for buyers turned down by traditional lenders. Bad credit, a thin credit file, or no credit history do not disqualify you — your whole situation is considered, not just a score. The estimate pulls no credit to get started.

Rent to own agreements usually ask for an upfront option payment. The amount varies by agreement and by your situation, and your Program Specialist walks through what applies before you commit to anything. The calculator shows how different amounts change your estimate.
