You can then apply any portion of your rental income or gift certificate balance towards your purchase.

After your Buy Order has been set up, click on the "Preview Order" button located in the bottom right corner.

This will bring you to the final checkout screen. If your Buy Order details are correct, you can complete the transaction by clicking "Submit Order".
