You’re not the problem
The Bank Said No. That Doesn’t Mean the Door Is Closed.
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 Larkspur, 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.

Common questions
Rent to Own FAQ — Larkspur, California
Can I rent to own a home in Larkspur, California with bad credit?
Yes. Rent to own programs in Larkspur, California are 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.
How does rent to own work in Larkspur, California?
You move into the home now under a lease with an option to buy at a price locked in on day one. A portion of each monthly payment builds as a rent credit toward your purchase. At the end of the term -- usually one to three years -- you buy with a mortgage you are now better positioned to qualify for.
How much down payment do I need for a rent to own home in Larkspur, California?
Most programs in Larkspur, California ask for an option consideration of about 1-5% of the price -- far less than a traditional 20% down payment. The more you can put down, the better your monthly terms tend to be. The calculator shows how different amounts change your estimate.
How long is a typical rent to own term in Larkspur, California?
Terms in Larkspur, California 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.
What is the difference between rent to own and a regular mortgage in Larkspur, California?
A traditional mortgage needs strong credit and a large down payment up front. Rent to own in Larkspur, California lets you move in now, build toward ownership over time, and work toward a mortgage on your timeline -- not the bank's.
Do you offer mortgage solutions for buyers in Larkspur, California with bad credit?
Yes. Alongside rent to own homes, United States House Partners connects buyers in Larkspur, California with flexible mortgage solutions -- bad-credit mortgages, owner financing, and alternative home-loan programs.

Larkspur is one of the largest and most active rent-to-own markets in California, with home prices that range widely from the Inner Loop to the suburbs. That range means more options for buyers at different budgets and credit situations.
