    • Option 3: Renting the property from the developer for a period of 16-24 months for a monthly rent. Upon expiry of such period you would have the option to acquire the property in which case up to 50% of the aggregate rental payments would be deducted from the final purchase price. You may also chose to pay an amount you can afford as an advanced rental payment at the beginning of the rental contract which would lower your monthly rental repayments to a more affordable rent.
