In our economy, it is difficult for customers to find enough cash-in-hand to purchase a building, and banks are becoming increasingly tight with loans. With BLI, your customers are approved instantly from our Information Sheet.

Without rent-to-own, a typical $4,000 building would commonly be sold for less, usually reduced 10 percent. But with rent-to-own, customers are focused on the ability to finance the purchase – without a credit check – for a reasonable monthly payment.

“Customers pay down a deposit and pay the first month’s rent,” said Scott Strahm, BLI's founder and CEO. “So that $4,000 building is now selling for $4,000, and the dealer didn’t have to negotiate on the price. Many of the dealers have said that BLI’s rent-to-own has put profit back into their business.”
 

Dealer Handbook
All dealers receive a personalized handbook with information about BLI, rental-purchase agreements, rent-to-own features, customer information and more. This is also available in the Dealer's Area.

Courteous and Professional Customer Service & Dealer Rep
Dealers can talk to a real person and will be treated with respect. They get fast service and have someone “in their corner.” Dealers have a close personal relationship with Terry Taylor, BLI's Dealer Representative.

Prompt Payment to Dealers
Dealers can be confident they will be paid within 5-7 business days after submitting a complete agreement to us, and BLI pays on a daily cycle. Direct deposit is an option as well.

AppXpress
AppXpress is the process for submitting rent-to-own agreements online through the Dealer's Area. It reduces and even eliminates mistakes, which means our dealers are paid even more quickly. There's no paperwork to complete! Simply enter the customer's information and click Print.

Individual Login to the Dealers Website
Reports are updated online each night, so dealers can access helpful information 24/7. Necessary documents, forms and memos are available there as well.

Survey Phone Call
We call customers after they receive their buildings, and dealers receive feedback on the quality of their service and products.

Instant Approval from the Info Sheet
Dealers don’t have to wait on a financing company for approval, because there’s no credit check for customers. Dealers approve applications based on BLI’s Points System.

Multiple Payment Options for Customers
Customers can make payments by phone, mail, online or can set up AutoPay with a bank account or credit card.

One-Month Agreement/EPO for Customers
Customers are not bound by long contracts, because they can choose to terminate at any time. They can also exercise the Early Purchase Option and save 45 percent by ending the agreement early.

Reserve Account for Customers
Any additional funds customers want to put toward the lease go to a Reserve Account, and those funds can be applied to the EPO at any time.

Optional Liability Damage Waiver for Customers
With the LDW, customers can be forgiven of their remaining rental payments if an act of God totally destroys their building. It also covers repairs for minor damages caused by acts of God.

Vince Primo

Vince Primo of Atlas Building Systems said 35 percent of current contracts are rent-to-own. Atlas doubled its manufacturing facility and upgraded its home office, and Vince says that’s mainly because of increased business from BLI’s rent-to-own partnership.

Classic Buildings
Kenneth Miller

The primary reason Kenneth Miller of Classic Buildings says he decided to use BLI’s rent-to-own program is because of Scott Strahm and his personal and corporate beliefs. Kenneth says that as far as he’s concerned, there’s only one rent-to-own source out there, and that’s BLI.

Winslow’s Portable Buildings                           
Howard and Ray Winslow

Ray Winslow of Winslow’s Portable Buildings said they have far fewer repossessions than ever anticipated. When repossessions do occur, the process is usually friendly and free of conflict. Ray also said a tremendous market exists for used sheds, making repossessed sheds easy to sell.
