Hello! I'm in San Ramon, CA and considering a lease to own after our strategic default is over sometime next year.

Anyone care to comment on the popularity of this route? How likely are we to convince a seller of the benefits to this option as opposed to selling their home outright?

Given the stinky market and sellers not really getting the asking price too often, having to lower the price over and over again...there does seem to be benefits to the seller.(As long as they are not in the same boat we are that is.)

Thoughts?

Thanks so much!
