Sellers, are you thinking about a rent to own option?

Thinking about moving toward the sale of your property by using a rent to own tenant lease/purchase agreement?

This option is sometimes used by sellers to rent a property to a tenant who has the option to buy the home within a specified period of time. Typically, part of each rental payment is put aside for the purpose of accumulating funds to pay the down payment and closing costs. This is a legal contract that obligates the tenant to purchase the property for an agreed-on price at the end of the lease period. Bradford Miller Law can draw up all the legal documents you will need for this transaction which will include both an agreement of sale as well as a lease. These documents must have a clear start and stop date. And, you must keep in mind that until the closing, you are typically responsible for insurance, taxes and maintenance.
