Bridging the Gap Between Renting & Homeownership

For many people, the path to homeownership isn’t always perfectly timed. Maybe they are waiting for the right moment financially, preparing to relocate, or simply want to experience the community before committing to a purchase.

That’s exactly why we’ve introduced Live to Own at Dovetail.

Live to Own is designed to help bridge the gap between renting and owning by allowing residents to build equity while they rent, with the option to purchase their home when the timing is right.

How it Works

With Live to Own, residents lease a condo at Dovetail while holding the option — not the obligation — to purchase the home during the lease period.

A significant portion of the rent paid during the lease term can be credited toward the purchase price at closing, helping residents move closer to ownership while enjoying the flexibility of renting.

Program Highlights

• Try before you buy — live in the community before making a purchase decision

• Build equity while renting — rent credits can apply toward your purchase

• Flexible timing — exercise your purchase option when you’re ready

Why We Created It

At GBMC Communities, we believe housing should provide flexibility for different life stages and financial situations.

Condos are uniquely positioned to serve a variety of needs — from full-time residents and downsizers to investors and those transitioning from renting to ownership.

Live to Own is Simply Another Path to Ownership

It allows prospective buyers to experience the lock-and-leave lifestyle of Dovetail, while building momentum toward owning a home in one of New Braunfels’ most connected communities.

Now Available at Dovetail

Live to Own is now available on select residences at Dovetail.

Whether you're planning your next move, exploring ownership for the first time, or simply want flexibility while positioning yourself to buy, Live to Own offers a new way forward.
