wholesaling will teach you how to get rent to owns at the right numbers. i would suggest wholesaling if you are new. rent-to-own is too easy to trick yourself into numbers that dont work in the real world. do you have a plan for a rto tenant / buyers missing a month payment?
i dont really follow what you are asking. rent to own, when broken down, is just leasing to a tenant with an option fee to buy the property with a certain amount of rent credits applied towards the sales price.
im guessing they are talking about keeping the option fee. yes, you can make money doing this but you can tangled in a lot more mess than just wholesaling a deal.
No entaglement at all, if you know what you're doing. You assign the deal and you're out of the loop. It's called a Cooperative Assignment. Much easier than wholesaling. Do you think a homeowner will prefer to take .35 on the dollar for their house, (wholesaling), or full retail (Cooperative Assignment)?
Easy is a relative term. Compared to laying down hot tar in Florida in July, yeah, it's easy. Compared to asking a homeowner to give you their home at a wholesale price, yeah, it's definitely easier.But like any business, real estate requires effort. Most importantly, it requires that you get out and take action. Studying and analyzing and trying to know everything is simply an excuse for not taking action. Do just one deal and you'll be surprised at just how much you know.
You can also wholesale Rent to own property. The nice thing about wholesaling is you can pretty much wholesale ANYTHING as long as it's at a wholesale price . If your just starting out I would say do a few simple, clean wholesale deals before you start doing anything more complicated.
