First of all you need to decide if you’re selling or doing a lease with option to purchase. If you’re selling the money is taxable and if you’re doing a lease option then no it is not taxable. Go to my RE blog & see the Lease Option page to learn more about lease options. Blog URL is below in signature.
Good luck,
