Becoming a homeowner has long been a cornerstone of the American dream, but for many first-time buyers, it feels more out of reach than ever before. If you’re among them, we are here to help. Rising housing costs, high down payment requirements, and rigid credit score demands have created barriers that leave many families renting longer than they’d prefer.
At Burson Home Advisors, we believe there’s a better way. Our lease to own home programs are designed to break down these barriers, offering a risk-free, wealth-building pathway to homeownership—especially for first-time buyers ready to stop wasting money on rent.
If you’re wondering how to finally make the leap from renting to owning, keep reading.
Lease to Own Homes: A Solution for Overcoming Common Hurdles
What is a Lease to Own Home Program?
In a lease to own home program, you make a fixed monthly payment in your new home with the option to purchase it when, and if, it suits you. However, unlike traditional renting, you own equity in the home from day one through an innovative fractional ownership model. Each payment you make contributes toward building equity and wealth faster than with a traditional mortgage.
Even better, our programs come with fixed monthly payments, so you’re protected from the yearly increases that plague most tenants and homeowners.
Why Lease to Own Homes Are a Game-Changer
1. Stop Wasting Money on Rent
Renting might provide short-term housing, but it’s a dead end for building wealth. Every dollar you pay goes to your landlord’s mortgage—not your future. With a lease to own home program, your payments contribute directly to your equity in the home, allowing you to put your money to work for you.
2. Overcome Credit Hurdles
Traditional mortgage lenders often require a spotless credit history, leaving many first time buyers feeling stuck. But our lease-to-own programs prioritize common-sense underwriting, offering an accessible alternative for buyers with good income and a responsible credit history. During the lease period, you’ll have time to work on increasing your credit score while already living in your ideal home.

3. Build Wealth Without a Mortgage
Owning equity while leasing isn’t just an innovative concept—it’s an empowering one. You’re no longer paying rent with no return. Instead, you’re building a financial foundation for the future, without the need for an immediate mortgage.
4. Enjoy Major Maintenance Coverage
Unlike traditional homeowners, lease-to-own buyers don’t bear the full burden of homeownership immediately. Our programs include major maintenance coverage during the lease period, so you can focus on settling into your new home without worrying about costly repairs.
How We Help First-Time Buyers Choose the Perfect Home
One of the most exciting parts of our lease to own home program is the ability to choose your ideal home.
At Burson Home Advisors, we don’t offer a preselected list of properties. Instead, we tailor the process to your family’s unique needs. We’ll ask all the right questions—about the number of bedrooms, layout preferences, proximity to schools or work, and even lifestyle factors like neighborhood walkability.
When it’s time for your One and Done Tour, we’ll show you homes that check all your boxes, saving you time and making the decision-making process effortless. With 99% of our families selecting their home on the first tour, your journey to homeownership will feel seamless, exciting, and rewarding.
