Rent to own Homes in New Hampshire

New Hampshire became an independent British royal colony in 1679 after nearly 40 years of existence as part of Massachusetts. The state began to resist England's rule in December of 1774, and in January of 1776, it formed its own government and rejected British sovereignty. New Hampshire's population grew rapidly in the late 1700s and through the 1800s thanks to its flourishing agricultural and manufacturing industries and the railroad expansion. The late 19th century brought tourists and vacationers en masse, and tourism, which is the second-largest industry in the state, continues to thrive in modern-day New Hampshire.

New Hampshire is synonymous with preserved space and skiing. An impressive 84.3% of this beautiful state is covered in trees, making it the second-most forested state in the nation. It is also known as "the Granite State" because of its many granite quarries. The state's population of 1,359,711 is lower than some of the larger cities in the country. There's plenty of room in New Hampshire's 8,952 square miles for new residents, so keep the Granite State in mind when you consider buying a rent-to-own home.
