Owner finance vs Lease option

[Maggie Nickerson]

Hello all Bigger Pockets enthusiasts! I am new to this site so please be kind :)

Question:  As an Investor would you prefer to purchase a property from a motivated seller through owner financing or lease purchase and why?

An opportunity to purchase a property has recently presented itself to me, the seller is offering owner financing at 3.5% and I'm wanting to know if a lease purchase would make more sense.  I plan to lease the property out for a few years then sell.

Thanks in advance,

Maggie
