Rent to Own Homes in Abbotsford, British Columbia

Rent to Own Homes in Abbotsford — Own in the Heart of the Fraser Valley

Abbotsford is the Fraser Valley’s biggest city — farmland and Mount Baker views, a growing downtown, the airport and the university, and families arriving from across Metro Vancouver for space and value. But valley prices have climbed, and buyers the bank turns down get left behind. Our rent to own program in Abbotsford is the mortgage alternative for that gap: move in now, agree the purchase price up front, and build your down payment through every monthly payment.

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

Being declined by a lender doesn't end your homeownership story in Abbotsford — it just means the bank's template doesn't fit your household. Self-employed and variable income, newcomers building credit, and buyers without a big down payment saved are exactly who our rent to own homes in Abbotsford program was built for. No credit check to begin, bad credit welcome, and no bank qualifying required to start.

The path is simple: choose a Abbotsford home, we help you lock it in at a price set today, and you purchase it when you're mortgage-ready. In the meantime, part of every payment grows your down payment, from as little as 2% to begin, and we help repair your credit.

We help Abbotsford buyers who are:

  • Agriculture and trades workers, commuters, the self-employed, and families chasing space and value
  • Newcomers to Canada building a credit history while they get established in Abbotsford
  • Fraser Valley households the bank turns down over a thin credit file or an unsaved down payment
  • Buyers who've saved some money but not the full 20% a traditional mortgage wants
  • The self-employed, contract and gig workers in Abbotsford whose income is real but hard to document
  • Renters in Abbotsford who can carry a monthly payment and are ready to be buyers, not tenants
