<prompt> Human: Hi all, There is a house my fiance and I are interested in maybe renting to own. The rent without renting to own is 790 which we can afford, and the price of the house is pretty low compared to the other real estate in the area. We arent really planning on settling in the area, but would like to either renovate it further and flip it in a few years or rent it out after weve moved on.Would this be a good idea? Im relatively new to the whole real estate game, but I want to be 100 sure this is a good investment before moving forward with anything. i.e. I dont want to find myself stuck with a bad investment which will result in a financial loss in the end.My fiance has graduated and is looking at grad school for next year, and I am going to be applying to nursing school this year, if that adds any perspective.The only concern I have for buying the normal way vs. RTO is coming up with a downpayment immediately with having to pay our current rent. We werent really looking to buy, but this opportunity just sort of fell into our laps, so we dont really have a house fund. The owners have been renting it out for a few years and are now looking to sell it, but arent in a huge hurry was their vacation home, theyre pretty attached to it.I havent discussed a RTO plan with the owners as of yet...I just wanted to make sure that the idea was feasible in any circumstance before I get super attached to the idea. Ideally, it would be a 5k downpayment with 300-400 of rent probably around 910 with the RTO option going towards the downpayment at the end of the rental term. The interest rate would likely be around 3.6. The purchase price is 99,900, the house was built in 36 and it is 2BR, 1BA  <response>: I wouldnt do it. You should be focusing on your studies and getting a job and getting married, not dealing with renovating and flipping a house. If you cant sell it and move from the area then youre a long distance landlord. Thats not what you want.Ive also found that financial things that you dont plan for and just fall into your lap are rarely good ideas.
