It's pretty risky. When you move into a rent-to-own house, you generally pay an "option fee" of 1-2% of the house price. Then, if you rent the house for the term, you get the option to own it. Be aware, however that if you leave the house or violate the lease, you lose your option fee and the time invested, leaving you with no equity.
