In a recent speech to the National Association of Home Builders, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke about the negative consequences of leaving the abandoned foreclosed homes, including vandalism and weathering, that cost money in repairs and lower the value of neighboring houses. Bernanke also commented on the growth and the shortage of rental housing tenants. Although the economy has improved, and 243 000 jobs have been successfully added in January, the uncertainty will cause a lot of work to continue renting the home buyer.

Therefore, rent to own is a viable option that allows people to buy a house gradually during the lease. This makes the house occupied, reduce the cost of care at home and maintain the value of property abandoned in the environment. Since hiring his stay can increase sales and reduce maintenance costs, Bernanke shows a part of real-side commercial banks, the estimated value of 11 billion dollars at home, will be leased in lease option transactions.

Martin Goldsmith, founder of the lease for the site USLeaseOption.com own, agreed that the rent to have a solution for the stagnation of the real estate sector, said in an interview, a rent to own scenario gives the buyer the opportunity to buy and take the time to clean up their credit and decide if the environment is right for them. With the proliferation of foreclosure, buyers need to be an alternative to traditional financing and deal with the bank.

Goldsmith has worked in real estate for eight years, he sold some property through a lease for you and see the benefits for buyers, sellers and the environment. Martin explains his inspiration for starting the site, I see the banks tightened lending requirements and recognize the need for non-traditional financing. Moreover, no single search engine to own rental properties. I want to fill a void in the market and create a site where buyers can go to a place and in contact with the seller directly without the intervention of third parties.

While banks have not responded to the proposal to use Bernanke lease option to help fill the gaps in bank owned properties, rent to own deals are becoming increasingly popular with American buyers and sellers. Taken by Martin, the site has seen an increase of 4 times more visitors than last year. With the U.S. government and institutional investors are involved, Orefice expect rent to own program to continue to grow in popularity, as well as help improve the communities hit hard by the foreclosure crisis.
