RENTALS

Looking to Rent a Home?

Welcome to MCG Homestead Rentals and Sales!

We’re here to make your rental experience smooth, supportive, and rewarding.

Here’s what makes us different:

• ✅ We report to the credit bureau – Paying rent can help improve your credit score!
• ✅ Need second-chance leasing?  Have a past eviction, broken lease, or less-than-perfect credit? We understand that life happens. Many of our property owners are open to working with qualified applicants through our Second Chance Leasing Program.
  Ask us today how we can help you get approved! 
• ✅ Have a housing voucher? Most of our property owners accept vouchers—please verify before applying.
• ✅ Looking to own someday? We're here to guide you not just through renting, but toward future homeownership.
