Renting can be an expensive living option. A rent of $1500 per month adds up to $18,000 per year. Since many relocators rent for a period of time before buying, rental prices tend to trend upward in lower Fairfield County and can be very costly compared to a down payment on a home. I have a professional circle of investors that are interested in partnering with renters so both parties can benefit financially. The arrangement involves buying property together and protecting both parties legally. The process is fairly simple and it allows renters to get into the market affordably and receive an option to buy the property at a date when they feel they they'd be most ready to buy. Both parties also work together on agreeable terms for selling the property. Call me (203-570-2096) if you are interested in learning more about lease to own agreements.
