So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

What You Should Know About Rent To Own Contracts

By Krystal Branch


Rent to own contracts are currently very popular. It goes without saying that buying a home is not a cheap affair. In fact, most people consider this the biggest investment they would make in their lifetime. Getting into an agreement would be beneficial for not only a home seller but also the potential buyer. It remains imperative for you to weigh your options carefully before you make any commitments.

Because of the expensive nature of property, most sellers opt to put their homes up for lease after they have gone on months without finding a suitable buyer. This enables them to continue collecting revenue in order to comfortably settle their mortgage payments. In any case, a home could be foreclosed if monthly payments are not made on time every month.

After a successful agreement, the seller is able to get a little revenue. This could go a long way in enabling him or get to build a better credit history. On the other hand, a rent to own buyer would be able to live in a prospective home before buying it and determine whether it is suitable. Considering the high amount of money one would pay in terms of rent, you would want to be sure of your move before signing a contract.

In the initial part of a contract, the seller will request for a rental deposit. You would not be required to make any down payments. Even so, the home seller will be able to make contributions towards mortgage resettlement from the cash you give as rent every month. This would be a win, win scenario.

It certainly is wise for you to scrutinize the terms and conditions of a contract before signing anything. Ensure that rental payment deadlines are clearly stated. Take note of the fact that any delays could result in penalties for the seller who probably is paying a mortgage. You should sign the agreement only if you are sure you can settle the proposed rental fee and settle it on time.

It remains best to familiarize yourself with the history behind the home in question. If it was procured thanks to a mortgage, you would want to make certain that payments for the loan are made diligently. Take note of the fact that the problems of the seller may become your problems if your contract ends before he or she settles matters with the bank.

Another thing you must know is that once you have entered a contract, the home in question will be practically yours. It would be your responsibilities to fix any issues that may arise even though you were still renting the house. Most contracts will have this clearly stated in order to avoid misunderstandings. It is therefore crucial to have a prospective home inspected before you enter an agreement.

The internet is the best place to base your hunt for information regarding rent to own contracts. It remains vital that you familiarize yourself with not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of such agreements. In the end, it would be essential for you to make a choice with which you are comfortable.
