Step 1 of 2
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.
You move into the home now under a lease with an option to buy at a price set in the agreement. Rent credits go toward your purchase, where the agreement provides them. At the end of the term — usually one to three years — you buy with a mortgage you are now better positioned to qualify for.
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.
Terms in Clovis, New Mexico vary with your down payment, credit, and the program — commonly one to three years. The goal is enough time to build credit and savings so a conventional mortgage is within reach. Your Program Specialist maps a realistic timeline with you.
