Housing Questions & Resources

Common questions about buying, selling, and shared housing — answered in plain language. Specific terms always depend on your situation, so reach out and we will walk you through the details.

Buying a Home

Homeownership options

Rent-to-own is an arrangement where you live in the home as a renter under an agreement that also provides a path to purchase it later. It is often used by buyers who want to move in now while continuing to prepare for a purchase. The specific terms are set out in the agreement and explained to you before anything is signed.

A land contract is an agreement in which the buyer makes payments directly to the seller over an agreed period, rather than obtaining financing from a traditional lender at the outset. How and when the title transfers is defined within the contract itself. We review the terms with you in detail before you decide.

With owner financing, the seller provides the financing for the purchase instead of a conventional lender. Payments are made according to the terms agreed between buyer and seller. It is one of several alternatives available to buyers who need flexibility in how a purchase is structured.

Not necessarily. Flexible options such as rent-to-own, land contracts, and owner financing exist in part for buyers who need alternatives to a conventional purchasing path, or who want additional time to strengthen their financial position. The best way to find out what may be available to you is to reach out and talk through your situation with our team.

Selling a Home

Selling your property

Homes in a variety of conditions are considered. If you are unsure whether your property is a fit, tell us about it — we would rather look at it than have you rule it out on your own.

No. The process is designed to remove many of the traditional obstacles to selling — no repairs, no realtor fees, and no closing costs.

Shared Housing

Affordable shared housing

Shared housing is intended for adults with stable income, including seniors, veterans, disabled adults, working individuals, and adults with case-managed support. To find out whether it is a fit for your circumstances, contact our team or apply through the shared housing site.

No. Seniors are one of the groups served, alongside veterans, disabled adults, and working individuals. Shared housing is for a range of adults who need a safe, clean, and affordable place to live.
