Selling a rental house to the tenant
I own a home in Omaha and was planning to list it for sale in about 30 days. The tenants told me tonight that they were interested in buying it. Their lease is up in 90 days. I'd break the lease early if I we closed before that. This is good news to me as it will save in realtor commissions. But having never done a FSBO, what's the best way to ensure all the paperwork is taken care of properly, required inspections are completed, etc?

Omaha FSBO (For Sale By Owner)
"interested" tenant is a start, next is getting tenant qualified (loan, down payment, other), under contract, proper/complete seller disclosures, buyer loan approved (unless cash, then funds verified), sale conditions satisfied, then closed
educate yourself--suggest you contact local mortgage lender and escrow/title company for assist/direction, may need realtor (see 1% offer below)

Hire a real estate attorney to make sure everything is kosher.
Make sure the tenant gets a pre-qual letter before they waste too much of your time. If it looks good, take 5% off what the full realtor Market price would be since you'd spend that on commission anyways.

I sold a house using a lease to buy agreement. I hired an attorney and paid him about $500 to draw up the paperwork and handle the closing. In addition to that the buyer was able to qualify for a refinance mortgage due to a loop hole about what I was offering her was "owner financing". You may or may not be able to do this after the fact, but its worth looking into.
