Your credit score isn't quite there yet

You have recent bankruptcies on your record
Depending on the type of bankruptcy it can take 2+ years after discharge before you can qualify for traditional financing. No more need to wait, as Crescent will approve you and get you in your dream home now until your able to qualify.

You're tired of increasing rental rates
As rentals rates soar across the nation, many landlords continue to increase rents each year or even decide to sell homes and force renters to move out. With our program you lock in a fair rental rate for 2 years, no increases whatsoever. You also have the sole option to purchase for that time period.
You want a home you can make yours
Crescent not only allows you to pick the home you want, but we think of it as your home. We allow you to renovate, paint, and customize the home to your choosing during your lease period.
You're tired of moving
Renting means the constant struggle of moving every few years with no guarantee to stay in your home. Our program gets you in your dream home prior to qualifying for a mortgage so you can avoid the hassle of continuous moving and enjoy your forever home.
