So while I'm not going to say whether or not you should go through with it, I'll try to provide you with some things to consider when making your decision.Pros:You can get the payment off your booksYou can sell the property for full price, when it doesn't appear that there is much interest right nowAssuming you are requiring an option payment (which I would suggest), you will get some additional cash nowSo basically the Pros can be summed up in that you have the potential to do pretty well financiallyCons:Lease options typically require less landlord hassle, but at the end of the day you are still a landlordThey could trash the house and then not buy itThey could stop paying and make you evict them, costing you time and money (there is also the possibility with lease options if they aren't structured properly that the courts could deem them to be a sale rather than a leasing arrangement in which case you would have to foreclose instead of the less painful eviction).
