Main St. Rent now, buy later Dear Mary: I am hearing about rent-to-own and contract-for- deed home-buying options. My husband and I wonder if this is something we should consider, since we don't have enough money saved up yet for a substantial down payment. How does one navigate through these options? -- Jessica, email Dear Jessica: While there are some legitimate options for non- qualifying homebuyers who don't have sufficient income, excellent credit or a large down payment, there are plenty of scam artists out there who would love to lure you into a home-purchase trap. These scam artists typically use the lease with an option-to-pur- chase trick or the contract for deed, both of which you mentioned. While both used to be legitimate ways to achieve homeownership, they have become the tools that many scam artists are using to sep- arate uneducated homebuyers from their money. The lease with an option to pur- chase is the most common scam. You want to buy a house but cannot The Tehama County/Red Bluff Sani- tary Landfill Agency announces new operating hours for both Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) facilities.

The seller makes you a deal: Pay a down payment upfront, rent the house for a specified time (usually a year) and in the mean- time find financing to purchase the house. Usually the rent is over- priced, but you're willing to pay because you think you'll own the house in a year. When the time comes to exercise your option and you still can't qualify, the seller evicts you, and keeps the house and your down payment, too. With the contract- Mary Hunt for-deed scam (some- times called a land con- tract), the seller provides financ- ing and you think you own the house subject to the mortgage loan -- the way you would with a tradi- tional mortgage. But read the fine print. More than likely, it is set up in a way that until you make the final payment 20 years into the future, the seller is still the owner. ment) is on 3281 Hwy 99W in Corning Facilities will be open to residents from 8 a.m. to noon and businesses from noon to 2:30 p.m. as fol- lows: Landfill June 25; July 9, 23; Aug. 6, 20; Sept. 10, 24 Corning July 16; Aug. 13; Sept. 17 The following items will be accepted free of Food giveaway June 30 Tehama County Com- munity Action Agency in partnership with North State Food Bank, the fairgrounds, Social Services, Feeding America and Cali- fornia Emergency Foodlink are sponsoring a Tailgate Food Giveaway from 9 a.m. to noon on June 30 at the Tehama District Fairground.
