Rent to own Homes in Pasadena, TX

Pasadena, Texas, one of the biggest municipalities in the state, was originally named after the California city of the same name because of its lush vegetation. The area has a rich but turbulent history of skirmishes with Native Americans and Mexicans. It was the site of the final battle in Texas' war to become independent of Mexico, earning it the moniker of "The Birthplace of Texas." Today, Pasadena has a population of 149,043 and is the 17th largest city in Texas. It is considered part of the Houston metropolitan area.

Pasadena, TX is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $57,781 and a median rent of $993, the Pasadena, TX 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 Pasadena, TX. 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.
