Rent to own Homes in Albuquerque, NM

The city, named after the Duke of Albuquerque, was founded as a town under Spanish rule in 1706, but its roots go back to 2000 B.C. The mountainous area near a bend in the Rio Grande River was a perfect spot to start a settlement - the flowing water provided irrigation for the crops, and the higher terrain offered protection from outsiders. In 1821, the city fell under Mexican rule when Mexico gained its independence from Spain. The railroads brought an influx of new settlers to Albuquerque in 1880, and then it was incorporated as an official town in 1885 and as a city in 1891. In 1912, when New Mexico became the 47th U.S. state, Albuquerque finally became an American city.

Modern-day Albuquerque is a bustling city with a population of 560,513, encompassing 187.73 square miles. It is the most populous municipality in New Mexico and 32nd in the United States. What began as a primarily Hispanic area now has a mix of races and nationalities within its borders. But the city still takes pride in its origins and honors its heritage during its many cultural fiestas and festivals throughout the year.

Albuquerque, NM is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Albuquerque, NM. 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.
