Turn Rent Into A Mortgage With “Make Rent Count”

Fannie Mae’s Make Rent Count program lets renters use on-time rent payments to help qualify for a mortgage—even without perfect credit. A powerful step toward homeownership for many.

Good news for renters: your on-time rent payments could now help you qualify for a mortgage!

Mansa Musa recently told us about Make Rent Count, a new program from Fannie Mae. It gives renters the credit they deserve. If you’ve been paying at least $250 in rent each month — and those payments show up in your bank account — this program can help. It highlights your rent history when you apply for a mortgage.

It’s especially helpful for first-time buyers or those without a long credit history. Best part? Missed rent payments won’t hurt necessarily, but of course it's not ideal.

Randi Myles is the mid-day host on Detroit’s Praise Network. Randi’s mom knew she was destined to be in some form of entertainment when even as a small child, she would pretend a pencil was a microphone and sing and charm family and friends. Later she would sing in church and college choirs. However, it wasn’t until she attended Specs Howard School of Media Arts, that Ms. Myles would find her true voice. Randi enjoys writing about the city of Detroit, faith, and the community.
