A great resource on this is Wendy Patton, but there's also a few others that do lease options on BP that are pretty awesome too.

I'd recommend these three: - Michigan Real Estate Investors - Great REIA run by Wendy Patton of Lease-Option fame, meets in Troy, http://www.michiganrealestateinvestors.com/ - Renegade Detroit Investors - Another great REIA.

I've seen Ron talk about ACTs but was never really sure exactly what it was.Sounds kind of like what I have seen with Wholesaling L/O (Joe McCall) and Co-Operative L/O (Wendy Patton).I've never done any but the idea is interesting.

I have also read "Investing in Real Estate With Lease Options and "Subject-To" Deals: Powerful Strategies for Getting More When You Sell, and Paying Less When You Buy" by Wendy Patton.

@Charles Patton III welcome to the site.

@Wendy Patton  is dead on...When I started I had a crappy job and although I had a little bit of money and great credit..I used neither...12 years later...I still use neither...

Look for Wendy Patton's book on Amazon.

I just finished a book by Wendy Patton.

Try reading Wendy Patton's Book on investing using lease options and subject to's for ideas and more info on that.

But Wendy Patton's "Lease Options and Subject To" book is a good start for creative financing.
