How much equity is in the home?

@Brian Gibbons do you have experience using redx? Archagent seems to give the same info, but I only pay $30 per month to archagent.

You actually CAN use automation when it comes to emailing offers rapidly to online sources. The limitation of Zach's software, is that is is loaded on the desktop. Since you would be emailing the same message, from the same IP address, using the same message every time, craigslist will block you. I use Joe Crump's automarketer, which is far superior. I actually have 7 automarketer accounts pumping out 15,000 emails each and every month to brand new FSBO listings on CL in 9 different states, each and every month.

No, not at all. I don't invest a single penny into any of the lease option deals I do. There is a difference between putting a property under an assignable "hard lease option" vs. an assignable "soft lease option." There are advantages to both depending on the situation.

Never be a one trick pony. Your strategy should change depending on the list you're targeting. What kind of list are you mailing to? And what is the frequency you plan on mailing that same list?

If you tell them you "can" pay cash, it doesn't commit you to doing so. Perhaps the leads you get from the yellow letters don't give you the types of deals you were hoping for... you should have several backup strategies as well. Start with a hierarchy depending on your specific business: 1. discounted price to do a traditional wholesale deal. If that doesn't work then 2. subject to, and if that doesn't work then 3. lease option assignment.

What sort of lien are you talking about? A mortgage is a lien. So can you elaborate?

I use www.archagent.com. But you will need to pay for their $30 per month fee. There are also quite a few other sites out there that offer expired listings. But you will need a friend who's a realtor log in with their MLS credentials once the very first time before you can get access forever.

You might want to talk to Michael Quarles about this.

I wasn't talking about it to brag, I was talking about that to explain that assigning lease options really should be considered under the umbrella of a wholesale deal... and also in the context of explaining how lucrative assigning lease options can be to the OP.... last but not least, it was also used to establish credibility.

Crump's system is great, and it is something I use on a daily basis. But the last time I tried to share one of the sites as part of Crump's system, I had my hand slapped... which discouraged me quite a bit.

I have posted on other folk's posts when it comes to creative financing strategies utilized as an exit strategy, and I will continue to do so.

I don't mean to rub anyone the wrong way, and I apologize if I come off that way. I'm confident, but not trying to be cocky.

@Bill Gulley, my apologies... I totally read into that wrong.

Either way, Rent to own, rent to buy, lease to buy, lease to own, etc. are more or less used interchangeably. When people call me on my rent to own ads, I make certain they understand it's not owner financing. Yes, I want to be the rent to own king, but only in the terms of assigning lease options to retail buyers. With that said, I again apologize for being defensive and interpreting your post incorrectly.
