Rent to own Homes in Pelham, AL

Situated in the Appalachian foothills, the Birmingham suburban city of Pelham has seen significant growth in recent decades, but still contains plenty of room to roam. The town has a population of 22,289 and a comfortably sparse density of around 560 people per square mile. Pelham was named in honor of the Confederate military officer, John Pelham, whose courage and technical artillery skill secured him the nickname of The Gallant.

Pelham, AL is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $79,268 and a median rent of $1,159, the Pelham, AL 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 Pelham, AL. 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.

Check out Pelham, AL rent to own homes for sale, which may include auction properties, for sale by owner, and more.
