Marian,

Before you get too far ahead of yourself you may need to check and see if the owner would even entertain the idea of selling the home.

If you can, avoid the management company to find out who the owner is. You can do this by checking the county tax records and see who owns the property and try to contact them directly to see if they are interested in selling.

If the owner is interested in selling your best bet woud be to get a buyer's agent to help you negotiate. Since you are renting you may be able to negotiate that some of your current rental payments count towards the purchase price of the home. You may also want to negotiate a price to buy the home now and maybe a different price to purchase at the end of your lease term.

There are many ways a buyer's agent could help you in this type of a situation. Let me know if you have any additional questions or assitance with locating the tax records for the property or a good buyer's agent in your area.
