Certainly, the availability of rent-to-own options for cabins varies. Typically, shed companies like ourselves that specialize in constructing simple, durable cabin shells may offer rent-to-own agreements. However, companies that create more complex and completely furnished cabins often do not provide this financing alternative. In most cases, partnering with a company focused on shed construction allows for the possibility of entering into a rent-to-own arrangement for a cabin.
Rent-to-Own Cabins with Maco Structures: Pros and Cons
In making a financial decision that is best for both you and your bank account, it helps to weigh the pros and cons. The following offers you the pros and the cons of going the rent-to-own cabin route.
Pros of Rent-to-Own Cabins
Gradual, Affordable Payments – Payments are made monthly, rather than all up-front with lower down payments.
No credit check – There are not credit checks - EVER.
Returnable Cabin – If you realize you cannot complete the payments for your cabin, you can return the cabin.
Complete Ownership Goal – At the end of the day and at the end of the monthly payments, the cabin is entirely yours.
Fully Paid Off Cabin (At Any Time) – If you realize that you can afford to complete the remaining sum for your cabin before the allotted months agreed to, you can pay and be done with monthly payments with NO early payoff fee.
Cons of Rent-to-Own Cabin
More Expensive Overall – While the monthly payments make the purchase immediately more affordable, you will end up paying more for your cabin by the end of the payments. You can avoid paying more by paying more on your monthly payments.
Overall, a rent-to-own cabin is a great way to one day own a fully livable getaway cabin!

Rent-to-Own Cabin Prices – The 7 Contributing Cost Factors
Initially, rent-to-own cabin prices are the same as any cabins that are purchased right upfront. However, that initial sum is broken up into designated monthly payments and vary depending upon the size, style, etc. of the rent-to-own cabin.
The following 6 factors contribute to the cost of a rent-to-own cabin.
For example, the lofted style costs more than the utility style. The more intricate and spacious the style, the more that style will increase the final cost of a rent-to-own cabin.
The bigger the size, the more your rent-to-own cabin will cost.
3. Exterior Siding & Additions
Siding
The prices of siding vary depending upon its material. For example, a rent-to-own cabin with lp siding siding will be the cheapest option. Whereas, metal siding will be the most expensive since it is double walled.
Porch
Our cabins come with a porch by default but we offer the same lofted and utility style buildings without porches for your rent-to-own cabin which will reduce the overall cost.
4. Flooring
We provide two different flooring choices, such as 5/8" standard shed flooring or you can upgrade to our premium 3/4" LP Legacy Flooring.
Plus, you can choose to strengthen your rent-to-own cabin’s floor by choosing where the joists are placed. This upgrade will also contribute to your rent-to-own initial cost.
5. Roofing Materials
Most rent-to-own cabins come standard with a metal roof. However, you can upgrade to architectural shingles
6. Special Customizations
Finally, the last factor contributing to the initial price of your rent-to-own cabin is special customization.
Special customizations like adding extra windows, door(s), vents, a loft, insulation, or electrical packages, all affect the final price of your rent-to-own cabin.
