Rent to Own Homes in Canora — Your Mortgage Alternative — No Credit Check to Start, As Little As 2% Down

Getting declined in Canora says more about the bank's rigid template than about you. Variable income, a young credit history, or a deposit still in progress are the norm for the buyers our Canora rent to own program serves. You start with no credit check, bad credit is welcome, and no lender sign-off is needed to begin.

Step by step: you select a Canora home, we help you tie it up at today's agreed price, and you take ownership once you're mortgage-ready — building your credit and your down payment, starting as low as 2%, the whole time you live in it.

We help Canora buyers who are:

  • The self-employed, contract and gig workers in Canora whose income is real but hard to document
  • North & East households the bank turns down over a thin credit file or an unsaved down payment
  • Forestry, mining and ag workers, seasonal earners, and newcomers
  • Growing families in Canora who need to move now but can't wait years to qualify at a bank
  • Buyers with bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy or consumer proposal behind them
  • Buyers who've saved some money but not the full 20% a traditional mortgage wants
