FAQs
Your Key Questions Answered on Lease-to-Own Homes
What is a lease option home?

What happens if I decide not to buy the home after the lease term?
You are not required to buy the home. If you choose not to purchase, the lease ends as scheduled. In some cases, an extension may be negotiated if additional time is needed. However, the option fee is non-refundable.
Are there specific qualifications needed to join a Lease Option Home program?
Qualifications may vary, but generally include steady income, a baseline credit score, and a commitment to follow a purchase plan.
The option buy-in (option fee) secures your exclusive right to purchase the home at an agreed price and is credited toward closing costs at the time of purchase.
