I have a company that finds houses, that you can rent to own. We figure out how much you can afford and back out of that figure, taxes and insurance. We then figure about based on the figure that remains, after we take out the taxes and insurance, the principal and insurance payment. So, what can you afford, how many bathsrooms, bedrooms, do you want a garage (how many stalls)??? Once I get that information, I then can find a home that you can rent to own. I deal with; many home owners, real estate investors that are in the market to lease their homes with the option to buy (aka rent to own).
