Step 1 of 2
You pay rent every month — on time, every time. But when you walked into the bank, a credit score from a rough patch years ago slammed the door. A medical bill. A job gap. A divorce. A season you’ve long moved past.
Here’s what nobody told you: renting isn’t proof you can’t own. It’s proof you’ve been paying a mortgage — just someone else’s.
Rent to own flips that. You move into the home in Show Low, a portion of what you pay works toward making it yours, and you get time to get mortgage-ready on your timeline. You’re not starting over. You’re starting.

Step 1 of 2
Yes. Rent to own is built for buyers turned down by traditional lenders. Bad credit, a thin credit file, or no credit history do not disqualify you — your whole situation is considered, not just a score. The estimate pulls no credit to get started.
You move into the home now under a lease with an option to buy at a price set in the agreement. Rent credits go toward your purchase, where the agreement provides them. At the end of the term — usually one to three years — you buy with a mortgage you are now better positioned to qualify for.
Rent to own agreements usually ask for an upfront option payment. The amount varies by agreement and by your situation, and your Program Specialist walks through what applies before you commit to anything. The calculator shows how different amounts change your estimate.
Terms in Show Low, Arizona vary with your down payment, credit, and the program — commonly one to three years. The goal is enough time to build credit and savings so a conventional mortgage is within reach. Your Program Specialist maps a realistic timeline with you.
A traditional mortgage needs strong credit and a large down payment up front. Rent to own in Show Low, Arizona lets you move in now, build toward ownership over time, and work toward a mortgage on your timeline — not the bank's.
