Lease-Purchase Mortgage Loan

An alternative financing option that allows low- and moderate-income homebuyers to lease a home with an option to buy. Each month's rent payment consists of principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) payments on the first mortgage plus an extra amount that accumulates in a savings account for a downpayment.
