Five Steps To Getting Started Today

[Michael Carbonare]

Ready to dive into real estate with a lease option deal? Here are five steps to get you started:
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: Understand the basics of lease options—how they work, key terms, and benefits for both parties. You must present to the homeowner the advantages of your offer, clearly and concisely. If not, well, a confused homeowner always says "No".
𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀: Look for property owners with a problem, in markets that favor buyers: increasing inventory, declining sales, price reductions, long days on the market.
𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗺𝘀: Decide the 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦 of lease option you are offering and craft the terms accordingly, agreeing on option to purchase price, lease duration, and monthly rent.
𝗡𝗲𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Ensure your agreements are clear, legal, and protects all sides.
𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗲: Depending upon the type of lease option and your objective, either assign the option to a buyer for a fee, or exercise it yourself when the time’s right.
Lease options are a low-risk, low cost entry into real estate investing—start small, take action, then grow.
