The Difference Between Renting to Own and a Contract for Deed. Renting to own usually means renting now, with an option to buy later. When you make this kind of deal, you are still a tenant, and the seller is still a landlord, until the final purchase. A contract for deed is very different.
The average length of a Contract for Deed is five years, but it can be for any amount of time that the buyer and seller agree on. Interest rates on a Contract for Deed are not regulated, so they can be as high or as low as the buyer and seller can agree on.
Usually the contract requires the buyer to make payments over time with interest payable on the unpaid balance. Once a buyer pays all of the payments called for under the contract, the owner transfers to the buyer a deed to the property.
