Frequently Asked Questions
How can First Financial's Rent-to-Own program help me?
Anyone can Rent-to-Own, but it is primarily geared towards people who want to own their own home, but cannot get a traditional loan because of:
- Lack of time on the job
- Non-traditional income or income which is hard to verify
- Lack of established credit history
- Bad credit history
With our Rent-to-Own program, you can fix these problems while you are living in the home and purchasing with our lease-option contract.
Housing prices in and around the Quad Cities and surrounding areas have been increasing over the last several years, but our Rent-to-Own program locks in today's price for you. This program allows you to build equity while also reaping the benefits of any future increase in the value of the home!
How does Rent-to-Own work?
Here's how our Rent-to Own program works:
- Your total monthly payment is set up similar to a bank loan. If you were purchasing through a bank, each month a portion of your payment would be applied towards interest, another portion towards principal, and another portion would go towards real estate taxes and insurance. With our program, things are very similar. Under Rent-to-Own (also known as a "Lease-Option"), the portion that would represent principal is called the "option" payment, and the portion that would represent interest, taxes and insurance is called the "rent" payment.
- If you make your payments on time each month, your new lender will take a look at your payment history and, if it is good, they may allow you to finance the purchase of your home. This is an opportunity you might never get if you were trying to purchase without first proving yourself through a program such as our Rent-to-Own Program.
- The down payment amount is negotiable, and it is based on things like credit, income and the purchase price. Rest assured, we will work with you to try and make this something that is affordable for you. We want to help. Whether or not you qualify for financing to pay the home off, we are willing to provide a longer term financial arrangement. So, stop renting and start owning your own home now, with our exclusive Rent-to-Own opportunity!
