*Rent to Buy*
 If you are tired of renting somebody else's house, and want to own a beautiful Single Family House, this will be the perfect house for you. Our rent to buy program is the best in town and here is how it works:
 1)You don't have to have great credit. Just something for us to work with. Your household just has to have verifiable income to cover rent. We will help you fix up your credit at NO CHARGE TO YOU (as long as you cooperate with us).
 2)We will treat you like an owner from day one, and will give some of your rent back to you as part of the purchase price when you buy
 3) You will start out by renting and within about 1 1/2 years, we will help you get your credit fixed up so that you can own this house.

There are many benefits to owning a house instead on just renting. Here is a few of them:
 1) You will be making payments on your own house, rather than somebody else's
 2) Part of your monthly payments will become tax deductible, so you will get a tax deduction (rent payments are not tax deductible)
 3) we will get you a fixed mortgage so your principal and interest will never go up

Pets are negotiable (allowed with conditions)
