I want to do a rent to own for a house how do I find houses ?

Answer 1

DON'T rent to own. You could lose your 'investment' if the seller gets sued, or just goes bankrupt while you are 'renting'. If you can't afford to by now, consider a lease with an option to buy. That means you have a normal lease with a clause that allows you to buy at a predetermined price on or before a predetermined date.

Answer 2

Look for properties that have been on the market for an extended period of time, and also individuals that own a large number of rental homes (specifically look for signs that say things like "I pay cash for houses"). In most cases, they will want a larger deposit, usually applied towards the purchase price. Make sure you enter into an agreement filed at the courthouse, aka "Bond For Deed", "Lease with an Option to Buy", "Land Contract", etc. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Look in the paper for FSBOs - For Sale By Owner.

Ride the areas your interested in and make note of those numbers and addresses.

Call about signs brokers have on properties.

Make offers! Make offers! Make offers!

Other than in love and romance, "No" never hurt anyone.

avoid long periods of time in the sun and they should fade. I don't think they'll ever go away for good. but what would I know? I'm outside too much.
