With a typical contract you will put a certain percentage of the purchase price down (normally twenty percent) and you will make monthly payments for a set number of years (probably around seven years) then the owner will want a balloon payment and that is when you get a bank loan and the title transfers into your name.

There are different ways someone can go rent to home. A popular contract is a "land contract". In a land contract the seller provides the financing for the buyer. If the buyer ever decides to get up and leave, the seller has full rights to the property.
