Thanks for the replies, I have the mechanics of the lease option (2 years, 3.5% down 'flexible' non-refundable, qualify in 1-2 yrs, rent credit, etc..). It is posted on craigslist every day in the for sale and for rent sections. I'm hesitant to do the local paper as it's around $650/mo. It is in one of the local papers thrifty-nickel, penny-saver, american classifieds genre.
It has only been on the market for a little under 2 weeks. I do understand that this is still very recent. I just want to make sure I have all my bases covered before 2 months pass by and I'm standing there like an idiot waving at cars and pointing to the home dressed in a chicken suit of out shear desperation. It is a townhouse by the way and I know some people don't recommend rent-to-own's on these.
I've had around 15 calls and emails, some which are looking for rentals, some which are section 8, and some which are delirious. 3 showings thus far but no applications yet.
