In todays market some sellers are certainly more open to "rent to own" or "lease options". Some listings are marketed as "lease to own" I am currently working with several buyers on "lease to own" options. You should definately work with a local Realtor. They can help you with possibilites in the area. Feel free to contact me if I can help. Lisa Smith, Coldwell Banker, (919)369-1924.

I have a house for rent in Smithfield. It is 4 br 1.5 ba. 2335 sq feet. Let me know if you are interested.

I would be happy to help you look for a Rent with option but as a realtor I have found many people who thought they could not buy and I helped them, They are now proud home owners. call 919-333-2201 Karen Lorenzo Remax Classic Realty Clayton, NC

You may want to consult with your local craigslist as we do not have rentals here on Trulia.
