HOW IT WORKS

Here's an overview of how the Home Partners' Lease with a Right to Purchase Program process works, from pre-qualification to application to approval to home close:

Frequently Asked Questions

STEP #1: COMPLETE PRE-QUALIFICATION QUESTIONNAIRE

Home Partners of America considers the credit, background, and income of all full-time household members 18 years of age and older who are listed on the initial application. 

The Pre-Qualification Questionnaire consists of 12 credit and background screening questions, however, this list is not exhaustive and additional factors may be considered. 

Key Considerations:

  • Average credit score of 620 for all household members on the application
  • No open bankruptcies
  • No evictions in the last 3 years

STEP #2: SUBMIT FULL APPLICATION WITH HOME PARTNERS

If your pre-qualification is approved, its time to submit a complete application!  

Home Partners considers the credit, background, and income of all full-time household members 18 years of age and older who are on the initial application to determine your maximum rent allowance.

Your maximum rent is based on your household’s debt and income and cannot exceed 35% of the gross monthly income for the household. Additionally, the monthly rent approval amount plus your household’s pre-existing, non-mortgage debt must not exceed 45% of your households gross monthly income.
