I just ran the numbers and the renter/buyer would have to bring $22,000 to the table so that I could purchase my next house with the same amount down as I could if I sold it outright.

I'm sure the potential renter/buyer probably won't have that kind of cash.

The way I look at it, is selling is a one-time headache. Renting is a continuous headache. Doing a rent-to-buy agreement with the expectation that I will have to put the house on the market again is a continuous headache that ends in a migraine.

I need to be compensated to want to take it on, and I don't want to have to make sacrifices to make it work because it's not something I particularly want to do.
