Pick Your Home Now, Buy It Later

January 29, 2019

The decision to purchase a home is a huge one. It’s one of the most significant decisions you’ll ever make, and it can be, quite frankly, completely intimidating.

What can I afford? Will I be able to get a mortgage? Which home is right for me? Will I have buyer’s remorse after the dust settles? I sometimes have trouble committing to dinner plans, and someone wants me to commit to a 30-year mortgage? Yeah. Cue the panic attack.

How about finding the perfect home, renting it for a while, and then buying it later?

The good news is, there are now options available which before now didn’t exist – and these programs address those concerns. How about finding the perfect home, renting it for a while, and then buying it later? Yup. That’s now an option. How amazing is that?

The Issue

It’s easy to understand the benefits of owning your own home. Especially when you compare it to renting, where you’re just “paying the man.” But, it often doesn’t happen. Why?

Perhaps the potential buyer has never owned a home before, and they’re nervous about making such a significant financial investment. They could be someone who has recently relocated to an entirely new city, and they’re unsure of which neighborhood is best for their lifestyle. Or, maybe they’re creditworthy but cannot currently obtain a mortgage due to a change in their career or student loan debt hanging over their head.

The Answer
