Overview
Landis buys a home for renters and rents it to them until they are ready to buy it back. It operates in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, and Tennessee. Unlike standard leases or traditional mortgages, Landis also provides coaching to help clients build credit and save for a down payment during the rental period. The goal is to make the path from renting to owning a home clear and achievable by pairing a home purchase with financial coaching.
