Question 9

Buying means you purchase the home upfront or with a mortgage at closing. Rent to Own lets you move in first and build toward ownership with monthly payments — ideal if you need flexibility. Both options are available on qualifying models.

Question 10

Rent to Own lets you move into a new M.J. Newell home, pay monthly rent that includes a savings portion, and work toward buying the home at a locked-in price. No bank loan required to get started.

Accepted Answer

With Rent to Own you can get started without a large down payment. Part of your monthly payment builds your future down payment.

Yes. Your purchase price is set from day one. When you're ready, you can buy the home using our in-house financing or a traditional mortgage.

Question 13

What if I don't end up purchasing?

Accepted Answer

You're not locked into buying. If your situation changes, you can leave at the end of your agreement. The savings you built may be applied per your contract terms.

Question 14

We offer Louisiana, Viana, Delanie, Aurora, Langdon, Emelia, and a Duplex model. Each is available in LaBelle and/or Lehigh Acres; purchase and Rent to Own depend on the model and community.
