lease purchase

Buy through renting

A lease purchase is an arrangement in which someone rents property—typically a house or vehicle—with an agreement to buy it at the end of the lease period.

Part of each payment usually goes toward the eventual purchase price, making it a path to ownership for buyers who can't qualify for traditional financing right away.

They entered into a lease purchase on the house, planning to buy it outright in three years.
