Lease option rookie

[Daniel Rubenstein]

Hi all, I just moved into Vegas about two months ago. I have been pushing off starting my RE investing until I have more money to invest. I dont see myself wholesaling, nor do i want to borrow from freinds and family if I dont have to. so I kind of wanted to wait until I have the money to buy a 10 unit mini apartment ecomplex. However, I have been researching lease options and it seems to be a way to get involved in real estate without borrowing and without laying out alot for a down payment, while still bringing in some cash. I wanted to know if anyone on here has had any experience in lease options, positive or negative, and how easily or hard it is to get the right houses with minimal risk- especially in vegas, as Id like to invest locally. Any advice at all would help a lot!!! Thanks!!!!
