If you start a real estate rent to own conversation--you will likely get a variety of reactions. Some people have already been burned by a rent to own company, some people assume that the buyer/renter still have to come up with a big down payment.
All I can say is--for this one time in your life; don't make assumptions. Visit yourself. Get the truth first hand regarding the CAL Group's portable and non-portable rent to own concepts. Learn how you could end up paying an effective rent of 0 while re-building your credit, or while you are staying in a CAL Group Rental while your new single family home is being built.
The CAL Group regularly holds Rent To Own/Build Wealth seminars at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. Usually, this is on a Tuesday evening at 7PM.
The actual meeting spot is in a quiet room you find by walking through the Vibe. The restaurant is closed at this time. You will find the Vibe on the 2nd Floor. Ask any casino employee for directions to the Vibe; and/or for the location of the CAL Group's meeting. Call the office or visit the website for specific meeting times.
I find it hard to resist a photo opportunity. This shot is from the Second Floor of the parking garage at the Hard Rock Casino.
We usually haved a table at the door and will be there to greet you. The meeting room is straight through to the left.
My license is in transition. When it completes the adventure with the Mississippi Real Estate Commission, it will come back to me as an Independent/Solo Broker with connections:-)

Great info and some great pictures as well. Have a great week.
Terry
Thank you, Terry. I hope you have an awesome week as well. That's one thing I appreciate about Localism -- the chance to highlight "living" in our areas. I remember when I was relocating, I was hungry for any "inside" information I could find.
We are planning a few rent to own sessions this year ourselves. We have a few strategies that work for some and are working on perfecting it. In the areas we service though, those that desire it have credit scores too low and need much discipline to make it work.
Have you seen many successes?
I believe so. We have several families nesting with plans and tasks to accomplish:-) with eye on close by end of year to enjoy the $8K tax credit. It does take discipline.
Some people though almost qualified--prefer straight rent...for some its too stressful to think about buying.
Suzi thanks for the kind comments on my posts. Keep up the good work and the great attitude.
