Rent the property now with the right to buy it later, with part of your payment often going toward the purchase. Includes lease-option and lease-purchase agreements.

Rent-to-Own in North Carolina: FAQ

How do I find rent-to-own homes, land, and commercial properties in North Carolina?
Search North Carolina on The Creative Marketplace — every listing shows the seller's terms up front, and you contact the seller directly. New North Carolina listings post regularly, so check back or save a search.
Is rent-to-own legal in North Carolina?
The rules for rent-to-own differ from state to state and deal to deal, and The Creative Marketplace doesn't give legal advice. Review the laws where the property sits and have a local real estate attorney or title company review the contract before you sign.
How much down payment do I need for rent-to-own in North Carolina?
Rent-to-own and lease-purchase deals usually start with an option fee rather than a down payment — commonly 1% to 5% of the price, often credited toward the purchase if you buy and often kept by the seller if you don't, depending on the contract. You'll see each seller's terms right on the listing.
Do I need good credit to buy with rent-to-own in North Carolina?
Not to move in — each seller sets their own bar for the lease. To complete the purchase, though, you'll usually need to qualify for a mortgage or arrange other financing by the deadline, so know your path to buying before you sign.
