How Lease to Own Homes Offer Flexibility and Freedom for Self-Employed Professionals
Being self-employed is a journey filled with rewards—freedom, independence, and the satisfaction of being your own boss. But when it comes to securing a mortgage, self-employed professionals often face hurdles that traditional employees don’t. Verifying fluctuating income, navigating complex tax returns, and meeting stringent lender requirements can make buying a home seem out of reach.
At Burson Home Advisors, we understand these challenges on a personal level—because we’ve been there. Three years ago, we purchased our home through a lease to own program, and it changed the way we approach real estate today. This isn’t the lease to own model you may have heard about in the past.
The programs we offer are innovative, flexible, and designed with people like you in mind.
Let us show you why lease to own homes are the ultimate solution for self-employed professionals ready to stop renting and start owning.
Out With the Old, In With the New: How Lease to Own Has Evolved
For many, lease to own programs may seem like an outdated concept—reminiscent of restrictive agreements from decades ago. But today’s programs are completely different.
Older lease to own models often required hefty, nonrefundable down payments (5–10% of the home’s price). If you chose not to purchase the home, that money was gone—no exceptions. Additionally, these programs rarely included equity-sharing benefits or offered pathways for financial growth.
The programs we offer today are a far cry from those outdated models. Our innovative lease to own programs prioritize equity-building, flexibility, and your financial success. Here’s how:
- You own a share of your home from day one through a fractional ownership model.
- If life changes, you can cash out your equity and your initial down payment—nothing is lost.
- With common-sense underwriting, getting approved is simpler and more accessible for self-employed buyers.
Why Lease to Own Homes Are Ideal for Self-Employed Professionals
1. Flexible Income Verification
Traditional lenders often require two years of steady, verifiable income—a major roadblock for freelancers, contractors, and business owners with unpredictable earnings. With our programs, we use common-sense underwriting to evaluate your overall financial health, not just your tax returns. This means less red tape and a quicker path to approval.
2. Build Wealth Without the Burden of Full Ownership
When you move into a lease to own home, you start building equity immediately without the typical responsibilities of homeownership. Major maintenance and repairs are covered during the lease period, allowing you to focus on growing your business or preparing for a mortgage without the added stress of unexpected expenses.
3. Save for a Down Payment Over Time
Coming up with a traditional down payment can be daunting, especially for self-employed professionals who need liquidity for their business. Our programs allow you to move in with an initial payment that’s less than a typical mortgage down payment. As you lease, part of your monthly payment contributes to your equity, creating a built-in savings plan for when you’re ready to buy.
4. The Freedom to Buy or Cash Out
Whether your long-term goal is to purchase your home or you’re still deciding, our lease to own programs offer unparalleled flexibility. If life changes—whether it’s a business opportunity in another city or a shift in your goals—you can cash out and take your equity with you. It’s a no-risk way to start building wealth today.
