Rent to own Homes in Raytown, MO

Raytown is a city in Jackson County, Missouri that was founded in the 19th century as settlers moved West to access more and more land. It became part of Missouri in 1826. Because of its proximity to the Santa Fe Trail, the area was popular with settlers, and in 1848 William Ray opened its first blacksmith shop. First known as "Ray's Town," it became Raytown around 1854.

Raytown, MO is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $55,940 and a median rent of $966, the Raytown, MO 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 Raytown, MO. 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.
