Modern Rent-to-Own Solutions

Build Toward Ownership

Instead of renting with no end in sight, you live in the house you plan to buy. Use the lease period to build credit and savings so you are ready when your option to buy arrives.

How it works ›

How rent-to-own works

  1. Choose a home

    Tell us your budget, family size and preferred area in Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Norfolk or Newport News, and pick a home from our available listings.

  2. Sign a lease with an option to buy

    Your agreement spells out the monthly payment, how long you lease, the option terms and the purchase price or how it will be set. Read every line and ask questions before you sign.

  3. Get mortgage-ready and buy

    Use the lease period to raise your credit score, pay down debt and save. When you are ready, you apply for a mortgage and buy the home you have been living in.

Why rent-to-own

A practical path for renters who are almost ready

Plenty of Hampton Roads families pay rent every month that is close to what a mortgage would cost, yet a down payment, a thin credit file or a recent job change keeps them from qualifying today. A lease-to-own home closes that gap: you move in now and buy later.

It also lets you test the house and the neighborhood before you commit. You learn the commute, the schools and the quirks of the home while you are still a tenant.

Is it a fit for you?

  • You have steady income but not a large down payment yet.
  • Your credit needs time to recover or grow.
  • You want to stay in one home long term instead of moving every lease cycle.
  • You are relocating to the 757 and want to settle in before buying.

Rent-to-own questions

How does rent-to-own work with Buy Now 757?

You lease a home with an agreed option to buy it later. While you live there you keep paying rent, work on your credit and savings, and get ready for a mortgage. The exact option fee, lease length and purchase terms are set out in writing before you sign, and they vary by home.

Do I need perfect credit or a large down payment?

No. Rent-to-own is designed for people who are not mortgage-ready yet. Buy Now 757 focuses on helping you get into a home with little to no money down and gives you time to strengthen your credit before you buy.

Which areas do you cover?

Our office is at 2400 Airline Blvd in Portsmouth, and we help renters looking in Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Norfolk and Newport News. If you are looking elsewhere in the 757, contact us and ask.

When should I start thinking about a mortgage?

Early. Most rent-to-own agreements give you a set window to buy, and lenders look at your credit, income and debts when you apply. Use our mortgage calculator to see what payment you are working toward, then plan backwards from your purchase date.
