“Rent to Own”: a great alternative for home buyers

July 30, 2008

“Buy or not to buy” This is a question asked most to most future house-owner who don’t have plenty of cash to make the down payment but consider now as a golden home buying time. However, now a new mechanism may solve this dilema: “rent to own”. Some home owners in the suncoast Sarasota, Florida (http://www.myfloridahome4sale.com/) are renting out their beautiful homes as long as you would like to pay the down payment around $5k. After 4-5 years, when the market is back to the up trend and the home buyers have enough momey, they can buy their home at their price today! They also offer different payment plan. (http://www.myfloridahome4sale.com/index_files/Page616.htm) This is is a low-risk, low cost investment opputunity for the young professionals.

May the flat world save US housing market?

July 30, 2008

The US housing market is keeping the down trend and unsurprisingly hit its 4-year low on this Monday. What can drive our market up?

Last week, I met some British investors coming to Sarasota, Florida. With the 1-2 Pound-dollar ratio, they are happily considering buying houses in this beautiful suncoast. They may even don’t need to consider the new idea of  “rent to own”, they can afford the cash payment. “Beautiful area and great price, why not buy a second house here!” They really liked the area (like the one shown in http://www.myfloridahome4sale.com/index_files/Page266.htm), and keep visiting to different places around to select the best one.

Hopefully we will have more overseas buyers can lift the housing market up!
