All the major systems are in workable condition, including the roof, furnace, water heater, plumbing and electric. So, what do you have to do? This house has some condition challenges that will be yours to deal with, the house needs a fresh coat of paint, new carpet, possibly a kitchen update, and bath facelift. You'll need to show us that you have the experience to do that kind of work, the income to pay the rent, the ability to put down an option fee, and a real desire to own a home of your own in 2 years. There's one other issue with this property that you need to be aware of: The property was vacant for a while with no electric and the sump pump wasn't working so there is some surface mold in the basement that needs attention. Yes, this is a great deal for the right person. If you can trade your ability to do this work for a great price and monthly payment, we'd love to work with you. You may ask what if I can't get a loan in 2 years? Don't worry, we can provide financing after a 6-month history of timely payments and a good working relationship. Don't wait, though—these deals don't last. The first step is for you to see the property; we'll explain more about the deal once you've decided you love it.
