"Rent-to-Own Homes: How the Process Works"
While rent-to-own agreements have traditionally been geared toward people who can't qualify for conforming loans, there's a second group of candidates who have been largely overlooked by the rent to own industry: people who can't get mortgages in pricey, nonconforming loan markets.
"Buying vs. Renting in the San Francisco Bay Area"
A new housing option is coming to the San Francisco Bay area that combines the flexibility of renting and the long-term benefits of owning. San Francisco-based startup Verbhouse is launching a lease-with-an-option-to-purchase program that lets program participants ("Verbees") move into their dream homes now with the option (but not obligation) to buy later.
"Renters’ Guide: Trading Rent For Mortgage Payments"
Because many would-be home buyers can't afford a down payment or qualify for a mortgage, several companies have created alternative routes to homeownership. One such company is San Francisco-based startup Verbhouse, which is launching a proprietary lease-with-an-option-to-purchase program.

A rentership society does not promise a bright future for us, our families, or our communities.

The benefits of homeownership are essential to emotional and financial empowerment, independence, and long-term stability.
who we are
We are not Wall Street. We're a passionate team who’s "been there, done that," dedicated to the democratization of homeownership.
