With strict approval guidelines and lenders tightening their belts, it's becoming increasingly more difficult to get clients approved.
Gone are the days when only the irresponsible were unable to obtain financing.
These days, those with high income, those new to Canada, and even entrepreneurs feel the wrath of the stringent financing qualifications.
Times are Tough

Throwing Declined Tenants a Lifeline
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 4
Home Owner Soon is a Toronto-based companythat offers rent to own solutions for both renterswho are passionate about becoming home owners, and the brokers who fight to fulfill their dream.
In 2006, Realtor Alex Kluge (top right), MBA and Broker Guy Lew (bottom left), AMP identified a hole in the industry – a hole that was only getting larger as time went on.
The market was saturated with smaller, local lease players, but there was no company with the kind of reputation and clout needed to fill the ever-increasing demand for a national rent to own option.

Rent to own is also commonly referred to as Lease to own. The terms are interchangeable.
Rent to own is a lease agreement between the owner of the property (the lessor who is a Home Owner Soon investor) and the tenant owner (the lessee) .
Leases are agreed upon by both parties and the lease payments are paid monthly over the lease term-generally 2 years.
Rent to own explained
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 12
Option Credits…A set portion of the lease (20%) is credited towards the down payment and later used to purchase the home at the end of the lease term. This is accomplished through the monthly option credits.
Security Deposit…
The tenant-owner is required to bring in a minimum security deposit of 5% which is held by the lessor with no obligation to pay interest.
What are option credits and security deposits?

Your client chooses the property they want, within the amount they have been approved for.
Unlike some rent to own set ups, they are not forced to choose from a few homes. They can pick any affordable home they want, in any area that best suits them.
This means the house they loved and were initially declined for from the bank could be theirs after all.
Where does the property come from?

There are two sides to Home Owner Soon.
So who buys the house?
Investor
Home Owner Soon
Tenant-Owner
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 15
Home Owner Soon essentially sits in the middle, with our eager investors on one side and our eager tenant owners on the other.
When your client, which you have referred to us, finds that dream home they are looking for, they let us know.
We then tap into our database and offer the deal to one of our savvy investors. The investor that scoops up the deal then purchases the home in question and the lease to own agreement then kicks in.

The lessee has the option to fulfill the purchase at the end of the term. A sale or transfer price is set at the beginning of the lease based on realistic appreciation rates for the area in question.
The lessee also has the option to walk away from the purchase at the end of the lease.
Doing so however, would mean the forfeiting of all monthly credits accumulated and the entire security deposit to the lessee.
What happens when the lease is up?

Tell me more about the tenant?

• Low beacon score due to late payments, collections and judgment.• Absence of established credit (beacon R or I).• Bankruptcy and consumer proposal.• Non-renewable mortgage, or deals that are pushed into power of sale.
What conditions make someone suitable for rent to own?
• Business for self, commission or cash business that has insufficient business history to qualify with CMHC.• Current income shy to qualify under TDS rules, but expect income to rise significantly higher due to the nature of the job
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 19
• GDS is 30% based on combined monthly income
• Gross Annual Income / 12 Months x (.3) = Maximum Lease Payment
• Lease Payment / (.009) = Maximum House Value Tenant Can Be Qualified For
For example…
Income = $60,000 /12 = $5,000 x (.3) = $1,500/ (.009)
Maximum Purchase Price =$166,667 or $170,000
How we calculate their purchase price

Income is King!They need to have a sufficient income to be able to cover the monthly rent plus the monthly option credits.

Why might a deal be
declined?
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 22
•Lack of security deposit; a minimum deposit of 5% is required since this is the foundation for the down payment in the future.
(Note: deposits can go up due to type of employment, property location, and extent of credit bruising.)
•Property values priced beyond what the lessee could afford.

Things that can decline a deal
©Home Owner Soon, 2006-2009 23
• Location is too rural and not marketable if it is in the middle of nowhere.
• Property is too specialized like cottages or mobile homes.
• Property is in disrepair with such things as roofing or foundational issues or outstanding work orders.
• Type of employment is too unstable ie. industries that are currently in jeopardy.
