I believe the benefit of a "rent to own" arrangement is that most people who do the (the renters) don't have the income or credit or down payment to purchas a house now.

If you are willing to rent your house, consider it a rental. But, with the RTO arrangement, you should charge a higher than normal rent (1 part covers the normal rental of your house, and the 2nd part is applied to a future down payment.

I beleive that if you check statistics, you will find that a large percentage of people never follow thru with the purchase - the benefit to you is that you collected higher than normal rent for your rental property.
