Rent To Own
Setting up your house in a rent to own structure is a great way to get the property in front of many more potential buyers. It is also a way to guarantee you will get full retail value for the home, sometimes more. There are MANY people out there looking to buy a home, but they fail to qualify for a traditional mortgage because of a minor blemish on their credit from years ago, they are short on a down payment or they have another mortgage on a different property.
These are great people, who will be likely to pay a higher than average rent in exchange for the chance at home ownership. To get started, the buyer will pay you an agreed upon “lump-sum payment up-front. This acts as a deposit should they fail to hold up their end of the deal. The buyer will also pay you a higher than average rent, with a portion of the rent going toward their down-payment.
At the end of a year or two, the buyer must purchase the home outright. There are many ways you can set this up. Choose the terms that work for you!
