To schedule a tour: Text Morgan at Riva Ridge Real Estate Services rivaridge.biz CONTRACT FOR DEED: This property is part of our contract for deed program (similar to rent to own) which makes homeownership possible for candidates who don't qualify for a traditional mortgage. The house is "as-is" with any reno, repairs, etc. being handled by the tenant. The $9,500 deposit acts like a down payment, with that and monthly payments going towards equity in the home. Once contract is completed, the deed will be transferred to tenant's name. Tenant may refinance, sell, or pay off contract early with no prepayment penalties. To book a tour of this property, or to read more about our contract for deed program, please send us an email. Due to volume on our properties, we will not accept calls or texts until email correspondence has been established. Similar to rent to own, as part of our contract for deed program, we will pay all title fees and taxes on the property until contract is fulfilled. The tenant will pay a deposit (much like a down payment) and monthly payments. Utilities will be in the tenant's name. House is "as is"- all repairs, reno, etc. will be up to tenant. Unlike traditional homebuying, we do not run a credit check, background screening, have specific income requirements, or have middle men that can slow down the process of obtaining a mortgage and tack on hidden fees. We handle all closing costs and fees, so the only payments you are responsible for are the deposit and monthly payments. This property has a total purchase price of $305,000 with a 30 year note. You may refinance, pay off the balance, or sell at any time with no prepayment penalties. Once the final payment is made, the deed is signed over to your name. This opportunity is perfect for renters who want to get into homebuying but do not have a large traditional down payment laying around, or cannot get through some of the debt to income W2 hoops required by traditional mortgage companies. Instead of throwing rental money down the drain, your payments go towards equity in the home which can be realized upon sale, refinance, or final payment. You can treat the home like your own without having to go through a landlord or obtain permission for things like pets, renovation, and decoration.
162 1/2 Locarna Way is a house located in Allegheny County and the 15201 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Pittsburgh Public Schools attendance zone.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
