Rent to own-leasing-Wrap around Mortgages- What is best for me?
Minnesota rent to own is renting till a future date in which the renter would buy the home for a set price.
This is a good option if the renter or potential buyer does not have 10% down of the sale price to purchase a home cd.
Remember renting to own does not give the renter the benefits of writing of the contract interest like a mortgage or land contract in Minnesota.
We recommend if the renter/buyer has enough money they buy the house than rent the property a better deal for them-plus ownership rights.
