Rent to own Homes in Susanville, CA

The county seat of Lassen County in north eastern California, Susanville (formerly Rooptown) is a vibrant, industrious place in a rural setting on the Susan River, offering easy access to outdoor recreational facilities and a pioneer heritage. It was formerly a mining and logging town, and had a population of a little under 18,000 at the 2010 census. With parts of town dating back to the mid-nineteenth century, it takes its name from Susan Roop, the daughter of early settler Isaac Roop.

Susanville, CA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $47,685 and a median rent of $928, the Susanville, CA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Susanville, CA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
