Rent to own Homes in Canton, GA

Early residents dreamed that Canton, Georgia could be a major player in the silk industry like China. Although that dream never materialized, Canton, the county seat for Cherokee County, is now truly a great town of over 24,000. It has even been recognized as one of the best cities in Georgia. Situated over 40 miles north of Atlanta and near the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains, Canton boasts all one could ever need in a city: great local shopping and dining, Southern charm, a proud history, attractive housing architecture, ample recreation and natural beauty.

Canton, GA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $61,459 and a median rent of $1,259, the Canton, GA 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 Canton, GA. 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.
