Rent to Own:

One of the corporate objectives at DogStar Properties is to provide individuals the satisfaction of home ownership. Quite often, individuals who have bruised or non-existent credit, income reduction or even newcomers to Canada are unable to qualify for traditional financing. That's where rent to own is a great alternative and that's where DogStar Properties comes in.

Essentially, we work with potential buyers, putting them through a thorough application process that includes reviewing their credit history. If they meet our criteria and qualify to a certain purchase price, we create an agreement whereby DogStar Properties buys the home on the renter's behalf. The agreement sets out the terms i.e. monthly payment in which a portion of the rent goes towards building a down payment for the renter when they buy the property at the end of the term, usually 2-3 years.

With rent to own, everyone benefits:

• For the Renter/Purchaser, they can start building equity in their future home right away with a payment plan to the landlord each month. By sticking to an agreed plan, the renter can start improving his/her credit rating so that future mortgage approval will be smooth once the rental term is complete.


• For the landlord, the benefit is having the tenant take pride in their home and to be responsible for all the upkeep and maintenance. At the end of the rental period, the tenant is usually able to obtain financing and the property purchase is completed.
