As a self-employed professional, do you feel like homeownership is a distant dream? Traditional lenders often require steady W-2 income, multiple years of tax returns, and complex documentation—leaving many entrepreneurs and freelancers feeling disqualified from homeownership. But at Burson Home Advisors, we’re here to tell you: there’s another way.

Through our innovative lease-to-own programs, self-employed professionals can secure ownership in a home from Day One—without the immediate pressure of qualifying for a traditional mortgage. With fractional ownership, you’ll co-own your home alongside one of our trusted partners, all while enjoying the financial and lifestyle benefits of leasing as you work toward full ownership.

What Makes Lease-to-Own Unique for Self-Employed Professionals?

Our lease-to-own program is designed specifically for individuals like you—people who want to own a home but need time to strengthen their financial profiles. With Common Sense Underwriting, our approval process is simple and tailored to self-employed professionals, making it easier than ever to start building wealth.

Here’s how our program works:

  • Own from Day One: Through fractional ownership, you gain a stake in your home immediately, sharing ownership with one of our trusted partners.
  • Build Equity Without the Stress: A portion of your monthly payments builds equity in the home while you focus on running your business and preparing for a traditional mortgage.
  • Flexibility for Life Changes: If life takes an unexpected turn, you can choose to cash out, receiving your down payment and a share of the equity you’ve built.
  • Major Maintenance? Covered: During the lease period, we handle significant repairs and maintenance, allowing you to focus on your goals without the typical homeowner headaches.
  • Secure the Home You Love: Once you’re ready, you can exercise your right to purchase, securing full ownership on your timeline.

This approach provides the freedom to enjoy the benefits of homeownership without the immediate weight of traditional responsibilities—giving you the time and flexibility to align your financial goals.

Why Lease-to-Own is Perfect for Self-Employed Professionals

Own While You Strengthen Your Financial Profile

Unlike traditional renting, where your monthly payments offer no return, our lease-to-own program provides you with immediate ownership in the home you’ll live in. This gives you time to season two years of tax returns or improve your financial profile while building equity in the home.

Simplified Approval with Common Sense Underwriting

Our process is designed with self-employed professionals in mind. Forget the endless paperwork and rigid requirements of traditional lenders. With our Common Sense Underwriting, the approval process is streamlined, ensuring you can focus on what matters most—your business and your home.

Freedom Without Full Responsibility

Owning a portion of your home through fractional ownership means you share the financial benefits of appreciation and equity-building while avoiding the full weight of typical homeownership responsibilities. Major repairs and maintenance are covered during the lease period, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your priorities.

Flexibility for Life’s Unexpected Changes

Life is unpredictable, and our program offers the flexibility to adapt. Whether you’re growing your business, considering relocation, or facing unexpected changes, you can continue leasing, purchase the home, or cash out.
