"Lease to Own" Program Gone Viral!

Safe, NEW affordable "Lease to Own" real estate Program being offered through Chicago investment company and brokered through Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate.

Two days ago, an investment company with lots of dough gave a presentation at my Coldwell Banker Real Estate Office. Their "Lease to Own" Illinois Program blew my socks off. If you experience it the same way I did, make this Program go viral!! So here's the deal:

If you or someone you know is looking for a rental, this investment company (Name given by request because the program has yet to be released to the public) will purchase a townhouse or single family home of your choice, in one of their approved communities, at a pre-determined price, and let you rent back from them for a total of five years -- unless you prefer to move out or, better still, buy the property from them within that time frame! 

Must you possess a credit score of 800 to be one of the 850 individuals or families they plan to house as part of their Illinois pilot program? 500 is just fine. Proof of employment IS a must, but that's a no-brainer. Need you have several grand to put down on the property? Two months security deposit and one month rent is more than adequate. (Ask about pet deposit.)

Bankruptcy, Short Sale, Foreclosure in your recent past? Not a problem. This Program was actually created for folks who lost their homes when the real estate market crashed. Folks who fell through the cracks and were not eligible to refinance. Folks who have been hanging on by their chinny chin chins, praying for A SECOND CHANCE!

That SECOND CHANCE is here. This Program is available to ALL renters, whether or not you've experienced one of the above traumas. Well, not exactly ALL. If collectors are on your tail for utilities and basic services, your application ($75.00 for one person, or $100.00 total for two or more tenants, ages 18 and over, which includes a credit and criminal check -- and YES, YOU MUST RUN IT THROUGH THEM EVEN THOUGH YOU JUST GOT YOUR CREDIT RUN ELSEWHERE) may be denied.
