"We applied to 4 banks. All denied. Rent2Own had us in our home in 6 weeks. The kids have a yard for the first time."

"After getting denied 3 times by my bank, I almost gave up. Rent2Own treated me like a person, not a credit score. We've been in our home 2 months now."

"After my divorce my credit tanked to 540. I thought I'd be renting forever. Now I own a home. Literally life-changing."
Janelle K.

"Bank told me to come back in 5 years. I came to Rent2Own and was in my home in 30 days. I'm still in shock."

From the Founder
"I started Rent2Own because my own family got denied a mortgage in 2019."
We had two kids. Two stable incomes. And $42,000 of medical debt from my wife's cancer recovery. Three banks gave us the same answer: “Come back in five years.” Like our family was supposed to put life on pause that long.
I built this company because that answer wasn't good enough. Today, 1,267 families are in homes of their own. Families like mine, who heard “no” everywhere else. If you've been told to wait, this isn't a sales page. It's a permission slip.
