Instead of asking whether there are any of those listings, you could simply make an offer with a lease-option.

Very Few Realtors try talking their sellers into offering a Lease-to-Own deal. And very few people actually advertise their houses as Lease-to-Own's.

Here's another way to find some:
1. Go onto Craigslist under "Homes for Rent" or possibly "Homes for Sale//by owner"
2. Email people that have their home for rent and simply ask them if they would sell at the end of the lease.
(many of them are renting because they could not sell by themselves or when they used a Realtor)
3. Tell them that you'll Lease the house for a specific period of time, & agree to a purchase price ahead of time as well as a monthly lease price. Have a KNOWLEDGEABLE Attorney/Title company put the contract together or find someone who is very well versed with putting together Lease Purchase Deals.

If you would like any help or have any other questions...feel free to shoot me an email.

Though I don't know what type of criteria you have for a house.......... while writing this post, i looked up sherwood on craigslist and in 3 minutes, found a $245000 / 3br - 2350 sq. ft Rent-to-Own House House on Indian Head Lake for sale by owner/investor with only $7000 upfront money, first months rent, and $200 Rent Credit per month. It's just that simple.

Best of Luck,
