How does rent to own homes work? Can I buy without a credit check?
Sunday
My credit is not good. Is there a way a home owner can sell to me without a credit check.
better deal for you is to call for sale by owners and offer them a rent to own situation. You can always talk them into just taking over the mortgage payments without any money as a down payment. The advertise and resell the property at a higher price to another buyer who has a down payment. The down payment and higher price is a nice profit for putting lipstick on a pig.
for sale by owners have no way to check credit so they believe anything you tell them

A lease-to-own house purchase (also "rent-to-own purchase" or "lease purchase") is a lease combined with an option to purchase the property within a specified period, usually 3 years or less, at an agreed-upon price. The borrower pays an option fee, 1% to 5% of the price, which is credited to the purchase price. The borrower pays rent, and an additional rent premium that is also credited to the purchase price. If the purchase option is not exercised, the buyer loses both the option fee and the rent premium.
As with any kind of financial contract, lease-purchase deals can be structured in such a way that all the benefits flow to one of the parties and none to the other. Buyers especially need to be careful. But lease-purchase plans have a solid economic rationale, which means that they can be structured so that both parties benefit.

Usually there will be a credit check.
Basically, rent to own works like this…
The owner of the home takes a certain amount of your rent every month and puts it toward the purchase of the home. But they sometimes charge a certain amount up from to do this. I've seen it as high as $10,000. Also, you have to sign a contract stating what you are purchsing the home for, and when you will purchase it. This can be tricky, because the housing market changes. So if you agree to purchase the hom for $100,000 in 2 years, and when the 2 years is up the home is only worth $80,000, then you are screwed. And if you don't purchase the home, usually you lose all of the money that went into the purchase.

Perhaps, but this situation won't work for you unless you take care of your poor credit scores and raise them. Under a 'rent to own', you pay rents for a year or two (at most) and are then expected to go out and get a conventional mortgage of your own. Unless you handle this credit issue, you're not going to get anywhere.
