HLBellevino | Do sellers ever allow prospective buyers to rent first? |
My husband is getting a windfall in February and we have just started looking, we have found the ideal house for our family. The house has been transferred to the two grown daughters of the origional owner. I believe it is an estate sale. We think the house is paid off. We are wondering if sellers ever agree to rent to perspective buyers while they come up with the down payment? |

i like to be direct and to the point.it sounds to me you and your husband should use a technique known as a lease option.this technique involves obtaining a lease on the property with the option to purchase the property in the future.this is a most cost-effective win/win purchase strategy.you can obtain the property with little to no money down and the seller will receive rent while awaiting payment of the option price.consult with your attorney to draw up the option. |

It's called lease to own. Approach the owners and offer the deal.
Be smart and have a licensed inspector check out the house. An attorney representing you should draw up the contract. |

another option, in lieu of a downpayment, ask the owners if they will hold the second mortgage on the property. but most people who are selling are wanting the money now.....not just enough to pay their mortgage/taxes/insurance.... |

Usually when people are selling thier house they want to close the deal, and if they are willing to rent that's something they would specify up front. It never hurts to ask, but chances are they probably will want to sell. You can always get an 80/20 loan so the 20% would be the down payment and you can pay that off as you get the money. |

You would be far more likely to negotiate a smaller down payment than you would trying to arrange renting.
They want a guarantee someone is going to sign and buy. Not a month to month stringalong renter. |

Sounds like you'd have to ask the seller. |

You dont have to have any down payment at all. There are many 100 percent loans out there with great rates. Call you local lender and buy it or ask the seller if they will owner finance it or do a lease purchase. |

I wouldn't. Rentors eyeing the place as a purchase? They'd pick the place apart, try to knock the price down over every little thing they dont like, then probably change their minds and buy something else. Who needs that crap? |

Yes, and there is a name for this:
Lease with option to buy or Lease with purchase agreement.
Lease with option to buy is a normal lease, but the lessor (you) has the OPTION to buy the property at the end of the lease. The seller cannot force you to buy the property.
Lease with purchase agreement/contract is a lease that is also a contract of sale. In this, you pay a monthly rent as normal and then you are REQUIRED to buy the property and come up with the down payment at the date set in the contract.
Ask your real estate agent about either of those -- it's ultimately up to the seller obviously, but if you can prove you have money coming in a few months, they might go for it. |
