Rent To Own Can Move Your Home
With buyers scarce and financing tight, some home sellers are offering rent-to-buy options to potential buyers. In fact, there’s been enough of a spike in interest that ForSaleByOwner.com added it as a search option on the site, says spokesman Eric Mangan.
These deals, also called rent-to-own and lease-option, usually require buyers to pay extra rents each month plus up-front fees of about 5% of the purchase price. The regular rent then goes in owner’s pocket (presumably to pay the mortgage), but the additional payments are used to buy down the price of the home. (more…)

Undervalued Property In And Around Concord NC
A new study has identified dozens of undervalued markets – where household incomes, employment, population density and other factors – could support higher housing prices, but just aren’t doing it at the moment.

Single family homes, beachfront condos, and commercial real estate along the North and South Carolina coastlines are currently selling for 10 to 40 percent less than at the height of real estate boom times.
