So you've been curious about rent to own, but not sure if you are ready (or able) to move forward with the Strong Blocks Rent to Own Program? Well, you just might be closer than you think to making your home ownership goals a reality. If you are wondering what you should do next, here are some tips below to get you on your way.
Don't be scared.we don't bite
Many qualified families don't move forward with qualification because
they believe that something in their past will eliminate them from our housing programs. While there is a screening process, just because we will look at credit, past landlord relationships, your current housing, and criminal background doesn't mean that past issues will be cause for rejection. We want you to be successful and the first step is facing each item and seeing what can be done to help you access our housing programs, including our 21-month rent to own program.
Start Yesterday.Or At Least Today
Sometimes the process can take time so it is best to start the qualification process as early as possible; as soon as you think you may be moving in the future. If you call today and need to move tomorrow it's difficult to gather all the documents and complete the screening in time. Let's learn about each other together so that we can be sure we have the right housing for you, and that you can be a successful resident with the right program from us.
Keep Important Documents Organized
Sometimes just having the right documents handy keeps the process moving so that the screening time can be much faster. The longer it takes to collect the documents, the longer it will take to be sure we have the right housing program and the right Buying Plan for you and your family.
One Day Off to Knock it All Out
Maybe you have one day off next week or have an upcoming vacation day you can use, but the best strategy for some families has been to "knock it all out" in a day. This can mean gathering your taxes and pay stubs, completing and submitting the initial application, application fee, all backup documents, and tying up any loose ends with Strong Blocks team members to be sure you are on the right track. Try to move the process as far forward as you can in the single day and plan ahead when you need to schedule something for that day.
