Rent-to-Own Riding Lawn Mower

Purchasing goods for your home care, such as refrigerators, vacuums, air conditioners, washers, and dryers may be sometimes, an expensive necessity. Making payments for one or more of these products may restrain your budget if you can’t pay for all the items up-front.

 

That’s where a rent-to-own option might be helpful. Continue reading to learn more about alternative payment solutions like rent-to-own for your riding lawn mower.

What are Rent-To-Own Riding Lawn Mowers?

Rent-to-own for riding lawn mowers may offer an alternative option to gain access to a quality riding lawn mower without paying the entire asking price upfront. A rent-to-own option aims to break an upfront payment if approved* down into regularly scheduled rental payments over a period of time.

How Does Renting-to-Own for Riding Lawn Mowers Work?

With a rent-to-own riding lawn mower agreement, you select the item, the payment solution company purchases the item from the merchant, and you take the item home. This is an alternative to a layaway option where you don’t have to leave the lawn mower at the store while you make rental payments over time.

 

Landscapers intending to use the lawn mower for business may also use their earned profits to make lease payments. Unlike standard bank loans or in-store credit, lease agreements don’t accrue interest but have regularly scheduled payments and fees. As a result, the total amount you pay for leasing an item is more than the retail cost. With rental-purchase agreements for riding lawn mowers, the lessor retains ownership until you pay for the item, plus rental fees. Additionally, accessing a lawn mower under RTO terms gives you the option to either return or own the product; those details will be outlined in your agreement.

 

Rent-to-own agreements don’t necessarily require perfect credit scores, which is an option for those with less-than-perfect or no credit scores.**

What Kind of Riding Lawn Mowers Can You rent to own?

Depending on your yard size, common types of riding mowers may include lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers, or even rear-engine mowers, from a variety of brands. If you’re interested in accessing a riding lawn mower near you, search near you for options on where you may be able to access a rent to own a riding lawn mower.

1 Application Terms: Your application, including the amount, cost, and approval, is subject to review and is not guaranteed. Applications are reviewed based on data you provide and one or more of the following: identity verification, bank verification, information from a third-party, a credit reporting agency, and/or prior experience through American First Finance (AFF).

Bank Loan: A consumer installment loan is originated by FinWise Bank, a Utah-chartered bank, Member FDIC and sub-serviced by AFF. The loan may be funded by the bank to the merchant for you to purchase item(s) and/or service(s). In some cases, the loan for returning customers is funded directly to your checking account for personal, family or household use.

Retail Installment Sale Agreement: A retail installment agreement is not a loan. You may enter into a Retail Installment Sale Agreement with a merchant to purchase item(s) and/or service(s). AFF may purchase the Agreement from the Merchant. An example of a retail installment transaction based on a 12-month term with 26 biweekly payments: if you make a purchase of $1,000 and make a $50 down payment with an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 169.53%, you will have 25 bi-weekly payments of $74.79 and 1 bi-weekly payment of $75.06. The total amount repayable will be $1,944.81 with full, timely payments over 12 months.

Lease: A lease is not a loan or credit transaction. It has several names: lease, lease-to-own, rent-to-own, or rental-purchase. With a lease, you select the item(s) and AFF purchases the item(s) from a Merchant. You take the item(s) home. AFF retains ownership until you pay for the item(s) plus rental fees. Other fees may be included, such as late, non-sufficient funds, delivery, and optional Liability Damage Waiver fees. As a result, the total amount you pay for leasing an item may be more than double the retail cost. You can cancel your lease at any time without penalty by contacting AFF. An example of a 12-month lease with weekly payments: if you lease a $1,000 item and pay a $50 (plus tax) processing fee, you will have 52 additional weekly rental payments of $46.11 to complete your lease. Your total lease payments will be $2,452.21 with full, timely payments over 12 months.

2 You will save money on interest, finance charges, or leasing fees when you pay the discounted amount during the Early Payoff Discount (EPD) period or by exercising the Early Buyout Option (EBO). You must make payments larger than your regularly scheduled payments by the EPD/EBO expiration date. You will make additional payments through the customer portal or by contacting the customer service team.
