How To Start: Wholesaling or Lease Options?

In recent weeks I have received quite a few requests for information about how best to get started in real estate. And while the general consensus these days is wholesaling, I must disagree. Yeah, good luck buying houses for .35 on the dollar. Instead, I started 30 years ago learning and using lease options to get my first deals done. Far and away easier than wholesaling, lease options are the best strategy for the new investor. Done correctly, they are risk free, with minimal out-of-pocket cash required. With some specialized knowledge you can control real estate long term if you want, as well as flip and assign lease options, and you can even wholesale them! And if you're open to doing deals virtually, a must in today's real estate business, lease option assignments are the perfect strategy. This opens up the entire US housing market to you, regardless of your location.
I frequently post examples of deals on my LinkedIn page. Here are a few:

I offer one-on-one personalized lease options investment training which you can read about here. If you are serious, if you're ready to stop studying and start doing, I'm happy to help. Feel free to reply and we can schedule a call.
