Rent to own Homes in Franklin, TN

Franklin is the epitome of what a small town should be. This Johnson County town has space to stretch, but also features a bustling and walkable downtown core. Though it only covers 13 square miles, it offers plenty of small town charm just 20 miles south of Indianapolis.

Franklin, TN is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $100,169 and a median rent of $1,553, the Franklin, TN 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 Franklin, TN. 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.
