Seller Benefits for Rent To Own Homes

Seller Benefits of a Rent To Own

• Guaranteed Revenue Stream. Not only do you have a strong tenant with an equity stake in the home, you may also require a non-refundable upfront down payment.
• Long-Term Renter. Each Rent To Own home is placed on a one to five year lease with a purchase option, minimizing vacancies for sellers.
• Equity Value Accretion. As a seller, your mortgage will continue to be paid down and your equity will continue to grow.
• Motivated Renters. Each tenant has a large equity stake in the home you are selling; a long-term renter would presumably take better care of the home with an expectation to later purchase the property from you.
• No Traditional Real Estate Transaction Fees. Sellers typically pay expensive real estate fees when selling their home, however most of the time these fees can be avoided in a Rent To Own transaction allowing you to retain a larger portion of the value for your property.
• Inexpensive Annual Advertising Fee. iRentToOwn.com allows you to list your home at a minimal fee; each advertisement remains on the site for a year or until the home is sold, whichever comes first.
• Advertisement Flexibility. You will have the ability (with a nominal fee) to change your advertisement at will for the entire year that your advertisement is active.
• No Time Gap Between Renters. If you already have tenants in place, the annual ad method will allow you to line up a buyer months in advance.
• Referral Programs. Referral programs in place to decrease your iRentToOwn.com advertising fees for future homes.
• Purchase Price Lock. You agree to sell the home at a set price, allowing you to build in price escalation expectations for your home.
• Tax Benefits. Avoid short-term capital gains tax by holding on to properties longer than a year and selling them at a fixed price.
• Non-Refundable Monies. If your buyer should fail to retain a mortgage loan or decide not to execute the purchase option at the end of the lease term, the seller retains the deposit, rent, and all accumulated equity.
