Un-Conventional ways of buying a home in Roanoke VA....Lease to Own, Owner Financing

There are deals to be had for people with the will to buy.....you just need to find the right REALTOR and the right seller to put the package together!

I applaud you on your positive outlook.   Sometimes it's easy to get bogged-down by the more challenging aspects of our industry right now.  Yes, we have to work harder to arrive at a transaction's completion ... but it can be done.  Being able to think outside of the box and the norm is extremely helpful.  Your upbeat nature and outlook is infectious!  Keep it coming!

Good post Damon - The key for many lenders is to make sure the Sellers & Borrowers record the transaction properly with their Closing Attorneys, in the beginning.  Many times the "purchase" will be treated much more like a refinance 12 months later, instead of a having to qualify for a true purchase.

I had an interesting situation with a lease to own property a few years ago. If the market is falling or rising dramatically, I can definitively say that lease to own is not the way to go for buyers or sellers.
