Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Buying a home today is harder than it should be. For working people. For those serving the community. For those who choose to be their own bosses. For anyone without the privilege of generational wealth.
We founded Americas Rent to Own to make homeownership, and all the power that comes with it, accessible to everyone. Because a home of your own isn’t just a resting place. It’s freedom, and it’s security. It’s a legacy—and a chance to build wealth for everyone who comes after you.
Home is a starting point for a better future. And you deserve that, too.

Home prices have increased 7.6x faster than income since 1965.

We know the power of a home, firsthand.
Our founder, Calvin, was born to two would-be America's Rent to Own customers. In the ’70s, they couldn’t get approved for their first mortgage. Then they got lucky when one understanding homeowner offered them flexible financing to buy a home.
Calvin and his siblings all grew up in that home. It was her family’s main form of savings, and it made everything possible, from their college educations to their careers. That’s why Calvin started America's Rent to Own: to create a path to homeownership—and the opportunities it holds—for more families like his.
