A true “rent to own” is probably not necessary in this market. Lease with option to purchase is definitely the better way to go; however, you should have a real estate attorney help you with the terms. There could come a time where you do want to sell, but that tenant’s option could tie you in knots if not done properly.

But - if this person wants the property, why can’t he buy now? And what’s going to change in the future where he will be able to buy? Not to mention - if he is leasing the whole building, he is then subleasing to the other floors. Do you want to lose control over who moves into the building?

Lots of potential for mayhem, IMO! Is it worth it on a 3-family? 

You’ll need an attorney (qualified intermediary) to work with. 

Take a look at the Exchange Authority; they are in MA and have reasonable fees. Good info on their website as well.

If your inclined to go with someone in Worcester- try Harry Kotseas’ office. They’re great to work with, overall. 

My top two are: 

Bill Fitzgerald, NE Inspect

Brent Booker, Dovetail Home Inspection 

(The BP forum does not allow me to post their phone numbers)

Thorough, but not prone to hyperbole. I recommend them to my real estate clients and recently used Bill to inspect a property that I'm purchasing.

Hi @Steve Bracero,

I'm a real estate broker working primarily in Worcester and the surrounding towns. In addition to knowing the Worcester area very well, I enjoy working with investors - there's more focus on facts, and less agonizing over things like paint colors! Just sent you a colleague request/message.
