Rent to own Homes in Ventura, CA

Ventura, California, is a place where you can work and still get up early and hang ten on the beach. The city, which now has about 107,000 residents, grew around one of the early California missions, San Buenaventura, and strives to maintain its ties to the past. Ventura is the county seat of Ventura County and was incorporated in 1866. In addition to the mission, local landmarks include the historic city hall and the Olivas Adobe Historical Park.

Ventura, CA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $79,986 and a median rent of $1,675, the Ventura, 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 Ventura, 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.
