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

Getting declined in New Westminster says more about the bank's rigid template than about you. Variable income, a young credit history, or a deposit still in progress are the norm for the buyers our New Westminster rent to own program serves. Begin with no credit check, no bank approval, and bad credit is no barrier.

Step by step: you select a New Westminster home, we help you tie it up at today's agreed price, and you take ownership once you're mortgage-ready — building your credit and your down payment, starting as low as 2%, the whole time you live in it.

We help New Westminster buyers who are:

  • Renters in New Westminster who can carry a monthly payment and are ready to be buyers, not tenants
  • Growing families in New Westminster who need to move now but can't wait years to qualify at a bank
  • Metro Vancouver 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
  • Newcomers to Canada building a credit history while they get established in New Westminster
  • Buyers with bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy or consumer proposal behind them
