If this is my little Terri Jordan who I once worked with slinging cards on a casino on Lake Michigan then I'd like you to give me a call and we'll get all your questions answered. Pamela (Federici) Howell. Hugs if it is the same Terri

Terri: I am thinking about moving TO Clarksdale. I wonder if you could give me your impressions of the town, economy, safety, best areas. Much appreciated, and good luck with YOUR move. Regards, and thanks,

I know a tiny little Terri Jordan from a casino. If you are her, ignore the last name (as it's changed) and contact me personally.

Hi,Terri:

here are some basics about rent to own:1. You would need to sign a contract to buy the house within a certian time period(usually 12 months)2. you would pay the owner a non refundable deposit( usually 10% of the purchase price. For example,on a $100,000 house--$10,000. 3. you would pay the owner a monthly rent ABOVE market rate during the specified time period.4. The deposit & the extra money would be put into an escrow account which would go to build up your down payment5. At the end of the term,you would take these escrow funds & go to a lender to get financing.6. if you do not go through with the purchase you forfeit this escrow account.

So,you see that this would not work with a Section 8 voucher.Possibly if you contact your local Dept. of social Services,they may be able to furnish you with a list of Section 8 approved rentals.
