Rent To Own
Oct 8, 2025
Nothing inspires quite like real people achieving real dreams. These Owne buyers turned their homeownership aspirations into reality, and their journeys might just mirror yours.
Priya's Story: From Studio Apartment to 2BHK in Bangalore
"I thought I'd be renting forever in this expensive city."
Priya, a 29-year-old software engineer, was paying ₹35,000 monthly for a cramped studio in Koramangala. The wake-up call? Her landlord's third rent hike in two years.
Her strategy:
Saved aggressively for 18 months while living with roommates
Used Owne's flexible payment options
Found a ready-to move property in Sarjapur Road
The result: Now owns a 2BHK with an EMI just ₹5,000 more than her old rent. "The best part? My EMI stays the same while my colleagues' rents keep climbing."
Rahul and Meera: The Couple Who Cracked Mumbai's Market
"Everyone said buying in Mumbai was impossible for middle-class families."
This teacher-engineer duo proved everyone wrong. With a combined income of ₹1.2 lakhs per month, they felt stuck in the rental cycle of Andheri.
Their breakthrough:
Explored emerging areas like Mira Road and Dahisar
Leveraged Owne's co-investment model
Negotiated directly with developers for better rates
The outcome: Proud owners of a 1BHK with a garden view. "We compromised on location, not on life quality. The 15-minute extra commute is worth having our own space."
Amit's Journey: Single and Sorted at 26
"My parents thought I was too young to buy property."
Amit, a financial analyst, decided not to wait for marriage to invest in property. His Pune rental was eating up 40% of his salary with nothing to show for it.
His game plan:
Started with a studio apartment as investment
Rented it out to cover 70% of EMI
Continued living with roommates to maximize savings
Today: Owns two properties and is planning his third. "Real estate became my forced savings account. Best decision I made in my 20s."
The Sharma Family: From Small Town to Big City Dreams
"We wanted our kids to have better opportunities without compromising stability."
Moving from Indore to Hyderabad, the Sharmas faced the classic dilemma—rent in the city center or buy in the suburbs?
Their solution:
Chose upcoming IT corridor areas with future metro connectivity
Used Owne's assistance for documentation and legal verification
Bought during the pre-launch phase for maximum benefit
Now: Living in a 3BHK villa community with amenities their kids love. "The swimming pool and play area sealed the deal. Our EMI is building an asset, not someone else's wealth."
Key Takeaways from Real Buyers
Perfect timing is a myth—there's always a reason to wait
Location flexibility opens unexpected opportunities
Creative financing makes the impossible possible
Starting small beats not starting at all
Professional help saves money and headaches
Every story started with someone saying "I can't afford it" and ended with "I'm so glad I did it."
