      <image:title>Blog - understanding rent to own - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>In a rent-to-own agreement, you begin by leasing a home, just like any standard rental, but with the option to buy the property after a set period. Typically, a portion of your rent (called the rent premium) goes toward the future purchase of the home. You’ll also pay an option fee upfront, which gives you the right to buy the property when the lease ends. This process gives renters the chance to test out a home and neighborhood while saving for a down payment and improving their credit.</image:caption>
