Rent to own vs Purchase outright vs Financing

I hope this blog finds you well. I am writing to provide you with information regarding the pros and cons of rent-to-own, purchase outright, and financing options for a storage shed. 

‍

Here are some points to consider:

‍

Rent-to-Own: 

‍

Pros:

• Lower upfront costs: Rent-to-own allows you to acquire a storage shed without having to pay the full cost upfront, which can be a significant advantage if you don't have the funds available.
• Flexibility: Rent-to-own agreements usually offer flexible payment terms and may allow you to return the shed without penalty if you no longer need it.
• No credit check: Rent-to-own doesn't require credit and don't affect your credit at all. So if you have a low credit score or don't want to use it, rent-to-own is a good option.
• 90 days same as cash
• No early payout penalty

Cons:

• Higher overall cost: Rent-to-own agreements often come with higher overall costs compared to purchasing outright.
• Delivery: When you buy a building on rent to own, you will have to have the space and openings for the building to be delivered already fully built.
• Limited customization: Rent-to-own sheds are often limited in terms of customization options like interior options and porches.

‍

Purchase Outright: 

‍

Pros:

• Lower overall cost: Purchasing outright often comes with lower overall costs compared to rent-to-own agreements.
• Full ownership: When you purchase outright, you own the shed outright from the start, which means you build equity in the shed over time.
• Customization: When purchasing outright, you have more customization options available

Cons:

• Higher upfront cost: Purchasing outright requires a significant upfront investment, which can be a disadvantage if you don't have the funds available.
• Limited flexibility: Once you purchase outright, you are committed to keeping the shed, and it can be challenging to return it without incurring significant costs.

‍

Financing: 

‍

Pros:

• Better interest rate than Rent To Own: Rent to own rental fees are usually more than interest in financing.
• Lower monthly payments: You can get lower monthly payment if you get approved for financing
• Build equity overtime: On financing you are gradually paying off the building so you build equity in the shed over time.
• Customization: With financing there are no customization limitations so you can get exactly what you want and also onsite builds.

Cons:

• Uses your credit score: You will have to apply for financing and it will affect your credit score
• More paperwork: Usually the financing process is a little longer and requires more paperwork and information from your part.
