Rend-to-own vs seller financing

[Alana Nevares]

Hi All,

We recently purchased  some units with prior savings, but we ran out of cash and we have demanding jobs that would not let us engage in creative investment that would require a lot of time commitment, however, I was wondering about rent-to-own. Is this a safe option? My thought was to get few of these properties and get some cash flow that would help us pay the other properties that we did purchased through a loan. Is there any catch to the rent-to-own strategy? is it true that you only need to put down between 3 t o10% and if so, does this apply to investors also? Any advise is appreciated.
