Rent to Own Homes in Edmundston — Your Mortgage Alternative — No Credit Check to Start, As Little As 2% Down

If a lender in Edmundston said not yet, it rarely means you can't afford a home — it means your income or credit doesn't fit their box. Our Edmundston rent to own path is built for the buyers that box leaves out. There's no credit check up front, bad credit is fine, and you don't need bank approval to get going.

It works like this — find the Edmundston home you want, we help you secure it at a purchase price fixed up front, and you buy when you qualify. As you live there, you build both the credit and the down payment (from just 2% to start) a bank looks for.

We help Edmundston buyers who are:

  • Growing families in Edmundston who need to move now but can't wait years to qualify at a bank
  • North Shore & Acadian households the bank turns down over a thin credit file or an unsaved down payment
  • Renters in Edmundston who can carry a monthly payment and are ready to be buyers, not tenants
  • Buyers with bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy or consumer proposal behind them
  • Forestry, fishing and seasonal workers, the self-employed, and first-time buyers
  • Newcomers to Canada building a credit history while they get established in Edmundston
