If I had to sell my house, I will certainly opt for rent to own deals in the market. Here are some of the reasons rent-to-own can be beneficial for you as a home seller:1. Higher Purchase Price Rent to own sales typically command a price premium over traditional sales. The buyer is paying extra for the flexibility he receives by not having to do an outright purchase immediately.2. Higher Rent You may be able to charge more for monthly rent in a rent to own than you would for just a straight rental.3. Cash Flow If your monthly payments are less than the monthly rent, the difference goes in your pocket.4. Option Fee This upfront fee paid to you by your buyer is what secures the purchase price down the road. If the buyer closes on the home, it would be applied towards the purchase price. If the buyer elects to not purchase the home, the option fee is forfeited and still remains yours. Either way you win.5. Eliminates the Burden of the Mortgage Payment If you have already moved on to your next home and your old house is sitting empty while you try to sell it, then you are saddled with TWO mortgage payments. Placing a rent to own buyer that pays that extra mortgage can take...more

Having a separate entrance for your tenant will avoid many possible problems.If your goal is to buy a home that you can build a rental suite in, make sure before you buy that you can legally build a suite in it so that you can avoid potential zoning problems later on. Ideally, you should make sure that your Realtor knows that you want to build a suite in your new home so that they can assist you in finding a suitable house for your project.Make the rental area as large as possible while still allowing the rest of the home to have ample space for you to live in; a small suite will net you a small amount of rent to help...more
