Exit Strategy for Lease Option Buyer
This is a 30 thousand feet overview of the process. Correct me if I"m wrong, then a couple questions at the end.
- Motivated Seller has a property in pre-foreclosure
- We set up a Subject 2 agreement with the seller
- We pay the arrears to make loan current and pay mortgage going forward
- Have a Lease Option Tenant with an annual lease that auto-renews (Option expires after 3 years)
- This rent covers the mortgage plus provides cashflow
- After 3 year term, Tenant purchases the property at a predetermined price minus downpayment (maybe a portion of rent goes to the principal?)
Questions:
What would be a fair consideration to pay seller to walk away with? Perhaps a percentage would work here?
How much should we expect the tenant/buyer to pay for the non-refundable "option" payment?
When the tenant is ready to purchase, do they get their financing from a traditional bank?
Does this mean they have to come up with another downpayment?
