An Introduction to Lease Purchase

While you may find the concept intimidating at first glance, lease purchase or ‘lease with option to purchase’ is actually a pretty straightforward concept that is easy to understand. What happens is that lease a house from its current landowner. Of course, there will be an end to this leasing period, whether it is a year or two after you move in.

And when your leasing period ends, you will have to buy the house. But wouldn’t renting an apartment for a year or two and then buying your house when you have enough money be better for you? This will depend on the arrangement you have with the owner of the house. Usually, 50% of your monthly rental fee will serve as a down payment for the selling price of the house.

This means that if you pay a monthly rent of US $500, US $250 goes to the down payment of your house. If the house costs US $20,000 and you wish to buy it after a year’s time, then you will only need to pay US $17,000. If you with to buy it after two years, you only need to pay US $14,000. As you can see, there is a huge benefit to making use of this program.

Of course, you need to keep in mind that the specific lease percentages will vary depending on the person you are dealing with. Make sure you have everything written down and signed by both parties, so there won’t be any problems later on.
