Seller Benefits of Rent to Own

Financial Benefits

  • Downside Protection:

    If your buyer should fail to procure a mortgage loan, or waive the purchase option at the maturity of the lease term, you retain the deposit, rent, an all accumulated equity.

  • Rent Premium:

    Rent to own landlords typically collect a rental rate premium in exchange for offering a purchase option.

  • Tax Friendly:

    Avoid short-term capital gains with a "fix and flip" strategy by renting to own the property to a tenant, just be sure the lease extends more than a year from your date of purchase.

Transaction Benefits

  • Responsible Renters:

    Your tenant has a large personal equity stake in the home you are selling, and as a result will treat your property just like his own.

  • No Traditional Real Estate Transaction Fees:

    Avoid all real estate commissions by selling your home to your tenant without using an agent.
