@Joe S. 
If you choose to go down the lease option route be sure to hire an attorney that understand the very specific requirements need to be followed.
Several years ago, Texas revised its lease option laws in response to widespread misuse by landlords who collected substantial option fees from tenants unlikely to afford the purchase, only to evict them shortly thereafter.

 Do you know any attorneys that are facilitating these kinds of transactions?

@Joe S. the attorneys I work with don't mess with them. Look for a new attorney desperate for business.

 I was curious if they were still being used.
Thanks for your input.

I echo Kyle's sentiment.
