Rent with first right to buy?

[jennykay]

We looked at a rental that the owners are likely to want to sell in a year. This could be a great house for us to purchase as it needs cosmetic help but is in a neighborhood we love. We don’t want a rent with purchase option since I’m hoping the price will actually be lower in a year. Are there other options we should consider? We have submitted an application but have not signed a lease so I’m looking for suggestions as to what we may want to consider negotiating. It may just be that we could make the transaction easy for the sellers when the time comes by being already in the property, etc.

Thanks for any input you may have.

That was something we were thinking about when renting our house. Been here over seven years (longer than I’ve ever lived anywhere in my entire life), and when we asked them about selling it to us earlier this year, they first said yes, but then decided against it. 🙁

It’s always a good idea, IMHO, because you will know for sure if you like the house, neighbors, and particular location. Additionally, you don’t have to move! It can save the seller tens of thousands of dollars by selling direct, too, so everybody wins! 🙂

Good luck with your rental!
