 The Program
 

We Will Do For You...
  • We take you shopping to pick out a home (house, condo, townhome).
  • We buy the home for you so you can move in.
  • We lease the house to you and give you an option to purchase the house.

You Do For Yourself...

  • You make your rent payments to Duke Homes on time with a cancelable check or cashier's check (not cash or money order) so you have proof of payment history to show a future lender.
  • You work to resolve your credit issues (pay bills on time, work with creditors to restructure payments, payoff delinquent accounts).
  • You personalize your new home as you choose...you have immediate pride of ownership since you have the ability to buy the property at a pre-determined price.

How This Works...

  • You select a home for us to purchase for you.
  • We buy the house.
  • You will have an opportunity to have the house inspected by a professional inspector prior to closing (approximately $350).
  • You pay option consideration of 3-5%, which is applied to your purchase price.
  • Your purchase price is the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) list price plus 5%.
  • The rental rate will be calculated at 7-9% interest on the option price (your purchase price).
  • You will pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance.
