Ben, This is a quote from https://barneswalker.com/seller-financing-restrictions-under-the-dodd-frank-act/A lease option contract where an owner rents out residential property to a tenant and gives the tenant an option to purchase the property after a specified period may also be subject to the new Dodd-Frank Act, if any of the rental payments are used as a credit toward the purchase price or create ownership equity in the property.As you describe your 'rent to own' it would fall under this rule.If you use part of the payment for the purchase of the home, or extend credit for such purpose you fall under Dodd Frank.So- my best guess answer to your question is if you are doing rent to own, you need the licence.

Go back 30 years and see if your submarket has actually had 3% average rent growth over that period.

I’ve offered seller financing, 30 year with balloon in 7 (hoping that whatever capital gains they would be hit over the time period I can make up to them even more so through interest payments), I still need to send them the break down of how much they will make through this method in total.
