Keys to Ownership with MWR Financial: How It Works

MWR Financials’ Keys to Ownership Program is designed to help individuals achieve homeownership through a structured rent-to-own model. By becoming an MWR member, you gain access to financial tools and services that can enhance your financial health, creditworthiness, and readiness for homeownership. Below is a step-by-step guide to how the program works:

1. Attain MWR Membership

• To participate in the Keys to Ownership Rent-to-Own Program, you must first become an MWR Financial member. This membership is essential as it provides access to not only the rent-to-own service but also a variety of other financial tools.
• Maintaining the membership is required to continue benefiting from credit restoration, debt elimination, and the wealth-building tools offered through the program.

2. Assess Your Financial Situation

• MWR Financial experts will evaluate your current financial standing, including your credit score, debt levels, and savings.
• This analysis will identify the areas that need improvement, preparing you to qualify for homeownership.

3. Improve Credit and Finances

• MWR provides tools and services to help you improve your credit score, reduce debt, and increase savings. These are crucial for strengthening your financial situation.
• You’ll receive continuous updates on your progress, ensuring that you're moving toward being financially ready to purchase a home.

4. Rent-to-Own Matchmaking

• MWR’s real estate partners assist you in finding a rent-to-own property that suits your needs and budget.
• Since the initial step is a lease agreement rather than a mortgage application, no initial credit check is required. This allows you to move into a home while working on your finances.

5. Lease Agreement with Option to Buy

• You will sign a lease agreement that gives you the option to purchase the home at the end of the lease term. A portion of your rent may go toward your future down payment.
• During this lease period, MWR continues to support your financial progress, helping you get closer to mortgage readiness.

6. Ongoing Financial Coaching

• Throughout the lease period, MWR provides ongoing financial coaching, including advice on budgeting, saving for a down payment, and improving your credit score.
• This support ensures that by the time the lease ends, you will be financially positioned to secure a mortgage and purchase the home.

7. Qualify for a Mortgage

• As you near the end of your lease, MWR helps you apply for a mortgage. By this time, your credit, income, and financial standing should be strong enough to qualify for favorable loan terms.

8. Complete the Purchase

• Once you are approved for a mortgage, you exercise your option to purchase the home. MWR and its partners assist in making the closing process smooth and efficient.
