Why should I consider selling my home on land contract or lease/purchase option?

We know you’d probably rather sell your house outright and get all of your money right now.  Most people would.

But the headlines don't lie:

The growing credit and financial crisis is making it nearly impossible for most people to get a mortgage loan. Unfortunately, it's just that simple.

And if you think it's just people with marginal credit who are being rejected, guess again. Here is an excerpt from a recent article in USA Today:

"We had a buyer, a doctor with an 800 (point) credit score, a down payment of more than 20%, and the (lender) backed out at the last minute," says Lisa Gregory, an agent at Prudential California Realty in San Diego, who represents the seller. "We were stunned."

"Maybe I should just find a renter for my house and wait-out the mortgage crisis."

That's probably a bad idea.

Some homeowners, frustrated by the lack of buyers who can get bank financing, are choosing to rent their houses instead. Click here to see what the consequences of choosing renting vs. selling on land contract can be.
