James Letchford Rent to Own Situation? Need some help.
7 November 2018 | 12 replies
I agree with most comments above, it is very likely you will have the property in your possession again in a few years, the other issue is, lets say you apply $200/mo of the rent to principal, because the tenant is "renting to own" Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA do not recognize the additional rent paid to principal for down payment, because they lend on the purchase price, and no matter how you word it, they will not accept $10 or $20K as Down payment for the loan if it was paid to you over time. also if you need to remove them from the property it is possible a judge may see the principal payment as equitable interest in the property, there are many hag ups in this strategy.
