Overview of Rent to Own
The buyer has either no down payment or small down-payment which later gets converted into a contract for deed.
Pros: low or no down payment
Cons: Very complicated, most people are not educated enough about them. They involve much paperwork that needs to be filed every few months. Very legally complicated
Overview of Seller Financing
Pros: low down payment. Both buyer and seller can come out on top
Cons: Some down payment is necessary
Owner finance, though more limited and regulated than ever before, is nonetheless alive and well in Texas. Greater consumer protection has been achieved by Prop. Code Sec. 5.061, the S.A.F.E. Act, and Dodd-Frank, but these measures have also had the effect of raising closing costs, particularly if an RMLO intermediary agent is involved. Consult a qualified real estate attorney before entering into a sales contract calling for owner finance and never use forms off the internet to set up a wrap or land trust. Liability for sellers under the revised Property Code is too great to take the risk.
