Agreement Of Sale VS Lease Option

Hello All,
I am trying to sell via rent to own.
I have the option agreement and the separate rental contract.
In my last post on this site

/ViewTopic12125-12.html

Many good pro's and cons came up with regards to equitable interest (for non refundable deposit) and recording the option. Both of theese I do not want to happen when I am the seller.

WHY cann't I use an agreement of sale with a closing date 1 year from Now? It is standard for the contract not to be recordable. A non refundable deposit also often happens.

so

Why rent to own with a lease agreement and an option agreement?
Instead of a lease agreement and an agreement of sale?
Keep in mind I am the SELLER.

Thanks Again
Matt_PA

    you need a lease agreement
    you need option to purchase agreement
    addendas

    and all must be well written and in your favor...
    recordable by you and not buyer/tenant
    amongst a few other catch phrases and clauses....

    You just need good contracts...
