What is the safest way to sell a house to a interested buyer?

[Ken Gurta]

I own a home in Maine. I bought it super cheap from a motivated seller. The house would be valued at $41,000, but it needs repairs. I have an offer for $17,000 if I provide owner financing. I am fine with that but wonder if there is a better way. It sounds like a win for both sides. I might also consider lease to own. The only problem with that option is how to handle the repairs that the buyer is willing to make. Should I agree to the owner financing, lease to own, or some other way of selling the house to this buyer? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
