Rent to own homes for buyers
For the person who can manage a monthly payment but cannot get a mortgage approved today. How it works, what it costs, and what it does not do.
Rent to own homes in Stone Mountain come with a wrinkle worth understanding before you start looking, because the name covers two different things and they are not the same place to buy in.
The city of Stone Mountain, which locals call Stone Mountain Village, is small: 6,534 people across nearly 1.7 square miles in eastern DeKalb County, touching the western base of the granite dome itself. Around it sits a much larger unincorporated area that also uses a Stone Mountain mailing address, plus Stone Mountain Park. So a listing described as Stone Mountain may be inside the city, with city taxes and city services, or it may be county-only with an address that says otherwise.
Worth knowing here
Because you are agreeing a purchase price now for a house you will buy in two or three years, and what you are buying includes the tax bill and the services that come with the address. We will tell you which side of the line a house sits on before you agree anything. It is the question most often skipped here, and the one that costs money later.
We are based in Snellville and work Stone Mountain from there, which is the honest description: there is no Stone Mountain office, and you would be right to ask. What there is instead is someone twenty minutes away who will come and stand in the house with you. More about who we are.
What we do here
Both sides of the business work in Stone Mountain, inside the city limits and across the wider address.
For the person who can manage a monthly payment but cannot get a mortgage approved today. How it works, what it costs, and what it does not do.
An inherited property, a rental you are finished with, or a house that will not sell at the number you need.
Before you talk to anyone, including us, it is worth knowing your own numbers. The calculator works out a realistic monthly payment from your income and debts, and nothing you type into it is sent anywhere. The questions and answers cover the option fee, the term, and what happens if you are not ready at the end.
