Make sure you put a time limitation on how long they have the option to purchase. I sold a house this way and just missed the uptick in home prices after Katrina.

I went this route selling my house. I did a year lease to purchase with money down. Your ultimate goal is to have them go to long term financing. I would make them provide income disclosure statements, credit report, and I would have someone do a background check. If they won't agree to these terms walk away.

There is a reason they are looking to lease instead of buy. My deal has worked out so far but I have heard many horror stories of ones that did not.
