For a rent to own, you might think of getting a relator and having them search for owner contracts. It's rto, only different. It's just a different kind of mortgage. Rather than paying rent and only a little going to the purchase, all the payment goes to the principle (jondra?) and interest. You're a bit more locked in than a regular rental situation, but if the contract is written right you could just walk away like a rental. Plus getting a relator to do your legwork won't cost you anything. The seller pays the commission. Just another option.

Any fake internet relators (I totally know I'm spelling this wrong, but it keeps coming up as correct) feel free to jump in and add on and/ or correct, because I'm mostly pulling this out of my ass. We bought our first home that way and it was a while ago.
