	Purchase vs. option to buy: An option to buy may be the best option in a situation where the purchaser may not have any established credit or financial resources to outright purchase a home. Option to buy allows you the potential purchaser to rent the property for a specific time frame and use a portion of that rent towards the down payment/closing costs for the purchase of that home. If you are unsure of whether an outright purchase or option to buy is right for you contact us today for no obligation consultation.
