FAQ
Fuquay Varina rent-to-own questions.
- How does rent-to-own work in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina?
- You sign a lease plus an option-to-purchase. You pay rent (a portion usually credits toward purchase) and have the right — not the obligation — to buy at the agreed price.
- What's a typical option fee?
- Option fees in North Carolina typically run 2-5% of the purchase price, paid up front and credited toward purchase if you exercise the option.
- What happens if I don't buy?
- You walk away at the end of the lease. The option fee and any rent credits are usually forfeited, but you owe nothing further.
- Who handles repairs?
- It varies. Many Fuquay Varina rent-to-own agreements shift minor repairs to the tenant since you intend to own.
