No. I agree. that is why I would like to live in the place first.
What I am proposing is that I will rent it with the option to
buy. If I decide later to buy it, then the rent that I have paid can
be deducted from the purchase price.
Sorry I have not replied sooner. Yes the owners would be happy with your rent being taken off the purchase price if you decided to buy it!! My e-mail is cazbarnes1964@aol.com if you want to e=mail me.
