A mortgage alternative when the bank says no
A bank's no does not close the Southern Shore. Witless Bay buyers use rent to own as their mortgage alternative and move in while their file matures.
Built for Newfoundland and Labrador incomes
Commuters, fishers, and tourism workers all earn differently, and agreements here bend to Newfoundland and Labrador incomes rather than the reverse.
You buy — you don't just rent
Renting in Witless Bay funds someone else's coastal asset. Through the program, part of every payment funds the one you are buying.
Bad credit and no credit welcome
Old credit trouble gets no vote. Bad credit OK, thin file OK; today's steady income is the qualification that actually matters.
Move in fast, own where you want
Harbour side or highway side of Witless Bay, choose the setting first; keys and a scheduled path to ownership follow within weeks.
Every property type, every area
From classic homes near the water to newer builds up the hill, every property type on this stretch of shore qualifies.
