In this episode, we break down a listener question about a common — but often misunderstood — housing scenario: rent-to-own. What happens when the roof is falling apart and the buyer-to-be wants the landlord to fix it before closing?

We discuss:

• Why rent-to-own contracts are tricky for both landlords and tenants
• The importance of understanding your agreement before negotiating repairs
• How to use the appraisal strategically to lower the purchase price or push for repairs
• The hidden incentives (or lack thereof) that drive both parties' behavior

Whether you're a tenant dreaming of ownership or a landlord considering this setup, this episode offers a grounded look at what really happens when "rent now, own later" meets real-world problems.
