Step 1
Get prequalified for a home-shopping budget. It’s free, there’s no commitment, and it doesn’t impact your credit score.
Step 2
Find your dream home.
With your budget in hand, go shopping for your new home (with a Divvy agent or your own). Divvy buys it with an all-cash offer, and the keys are yours.
Step 3
We buy your dream home
We pay for the home in cash and cover all fees, closing costs, taxes, and insurance. You make an initial payment of 1% to 2% of the selling price, which goes straight to savings for your own future down payment.
Step 4
Move in with built-in savings
Move in and make it home. Your monthly payment includes built-in savings that grow into a down payment over time. (Our program is designed for our customers to become mortgage-eligible within 3 years.)
Step 5
Buy your home, or walk away with savings
Buy your home when the time is right. Change of plans? You can also move out early (with a 60-day notice) and keep your savings (minus a relisting fee).
If you can get approved for a traditional mortgage today, we say: Go for it. But OUR RENT TO OWN is ideal if…
With Divvy, savings for your down payment are built right into your monthly payment, so they add up over time. In 3 years (or even sooner), you can afford a 10% down payment on your home.
We accept a minimum FICO credit score of 550—so even if you’ve hit a few bumps in the road, Divvy could be the right partner for you. Once you’ve moved into your home, we’ll pair you with a free credit counselor to help you get ready for your own mortgage.
We look at your last 3 months of income when determining your home-shopping budget, which makes us a great option if you’re self-employed or recently started a new position. (Congrats, either way.)
We give you the power of an all-cash offer, which sets you apart in today’s competitive market and helps you secure your dream home.
At our company we move fast and our program is flexible. Which means you get into your dream home sooner and – if life changes – you’re not locked in. Who says you shouldn’t be able to try-before-you-buy anyways?
Applying for RENT TO OWN is completely free, takes 5 minutes online, and comes with no commitment. It also won’t impact your credit score. Don’t worry if your financial picture isn’t perfect—we get that life happens, and everyone’s situation is different.
After applying, you’ll get your estimated home-shopping budget. We’ll then verify your application and you’ll receive your approved shopping budget in 2 business days.

For the most part: yes, you can! RENT TO OWN lets you shop homes that are listed for sale and within your approved by us budget. There are a few exceptions—like no manufactured homes or foreclosures—but most homes work. Go home shopping with your own real estate agent Iryna Talmachova Strong. Once you choose the perfect home for you, we buy it, and the keys are yours.
Most move-in ready homes on the market are eligible for the RENT TO BUY program, but there are also some specific eligibility criteria.
Single-family detached or townhomes (we do not purchase condos)
Please check townhouse eligibility here.
The home’s deed must be “Fee Simple” (includes land ownership)
New Construction: Divvy will purchase new construction with the following requirements:
Buyers Agent to confirm status directly from the builder via intake form
Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) cannot exceed $15,000. Note: tenant is required to pay the entire EMD amount as a non-refundable deposit before an offer is sent
Development cannot have rental restrictions
Construction completion within 90 days
There must be at least 2 closed sales of finished homes, within the same phase of the development
Comparables must be ± 10% GLA (gross living area = total area of finished, above-grade residential space excluding unheated areas such as porches and balconies) of home, with upgrades known, ideally within same development
Comparables must be within 0.5 mile and 10 years for year built, ideally within same development
There are no limits or restrictions on the square footage of the home
There is an acreage restriction of up to 2 acres of land
We want your home to be in great condition before you move in. When home shopping, there are a few warning signs that a home may not be in the best condition and wouldn't pass our home inspection. Look out for some tell-tale warning signs on the listing:
“Sold As-Is”
“Fixer-Upper”
“Not Habitable”
Home has less than 10 photos
HVAC ideally is less than 15 years old
Roof ideally is less than 15 years old
Water ideally is less than 10 years old
Condos (or townhouses with condominium ownership)
HOAs or municipalities with rental restrictions
Pre-foreclosures / short sales
Foreclosures
REO / Bank-owned / county-owned / Fannie or Freddie-owned
Assignee contracts from wholesalers
Manufactured or mobile homes
Age Restricted Communities: Housing and neighborhoods specifically for those 55/65 and older
Homes on unpaved roads and/or driveways
Exceptions can be made if the home has the following:
Minimum 3 BR / 2 BA
Quality / condition preferably renovated
Within 75 miles from downtown
Liquidity [at least 1 sold comp within past month within 0.5 mile]
Homes without central air conditioning HVAC
Homes with financed solar panels (owned solar systems and/or systems paid off at closing are OK)
As always, if you have a question, reach out to Iryna Talmachova Strong
Unlike traditional renting, RENT TO OWN offers a pathway to homeownership by letting you choose almost any home listed for sale and rent it from us while you save up to buy.
With RENT TO OWN, you get all the flexibility of renting, while also moving closer to homeownership!
A portion of your monthly rent payment goes directly towards home savings—money you can use towards your future down payment on the home
We’ll buy almost any home on the market, so you get to live in your dream home from day one
RENT TO OWN will cover all major repairs and maintenance during your lease, and unlike a rental, you have the option to customize your home to meet your needs.
With RENT TO OWM, if you don’t love your home, you can walk away and cash out your home savings.
Move in and make it yours.
Rent your new home from us while you get ready to own it, with built-in savings for your down payment each month.
