Rent-to-own idea practical?
poppysan: It could work.What would need to happen in order for its viability is the host company needs to either own or have management over a number of residences.  They would also have to have partner banks or provide the loans themselves.It would work like this:Company owns 250 homes in your target city.  You get guaranteed for a mortgage with them in advance.  Then you select from their properties one that you like.  If the property does not fit your needs, you can transfer, after a year, to another one of the properties, with a small moving fee, to another home in the network.Would take loads of money to accomplish but would be neat~!!!
