lol you’re going to get scammed my guy

if you could rent a home for X amount of money why would you sell it to someone that can’t qualify for a legitimate mortgage?

Would make no sense for the landlord. All the responsibility and rent for renting an apartment, except you don’t get to keep the property after?? Why would anyone do that optionally?

👆This is the answer, for sure.

Unless it's for an absolute dog in Nowhere, Arkansas, what property owner would do this? There is no upside for them.

So, OP, if you ever were to find such an offer here in RI, it's telling you loud and clear that it's predatory or worse

Oh that, i've only seen that in extremely rural or shitty areas. Mainly for trailers or mobile homes. Never seen it here but who knows it may exist.
