This is a rent-to-own property sold in as-is condition with a down payment of $2,000 and a monthly payment of $975, which includes property taxes.

The seller will do no repairs on this property. Repairs will be your responsibility as the buyer going forward.

As long as you pay monthly as agreed to fulfill your end of this rent-to-own agreement, the seller cannot end the purchase contract for this home (like a landlord can with a lease). You'll have a stable house payment with no rent increases. Monthly payment may only be adjusted if the county raises property taxes.

This ownership opportunity is a long-term arrangement if you want it to be. However, if you ever want to move out, you can do so at any time by signing a termination agreement and returning the keys with no further obligation.

Property taxes and homeowners' insurance must be paid monthly to protect both buyer and seller. Taxes are included in the monthly payment, but insurance is your responsibility.
