A lot of times, the seller charges the 'renter/buyer' about 50% more in rent and tells them that it'll apply towards their down payment when they are ready to buy. But there are usually clauses that allow the owner to evict the tenant if they are a little late on rent. So the buyer gets evicted and loses their money, and the owner starts again with the next sucker. The biggest problem, however, is that the lease term is generally not long enough for these buyers to fix their credit and qualify for a mortgage. When they can't qualify, they lose their money.? What advice do other realtors have for buyers who ask about rent to own homes? Would you recommend them?
