Jesse Gomez Cooperative Lease Option...in Texas

We have this on a one page sheet and the buyer signs it.The seller must send an Auth to Release Info to the mtg company so the buyer can verify the house payments are current.The seller must report to the buyer when the mtg payments were made.You can either have the seller e-mail the buyer each month, or use a servicing company or I've had owners create unique logins to their mtg info online and the buyer can check 24/7.There are other small things, such as not withholding a rent credit for a late payment, but that all makes sense.Keep in mind...the law specifically states that ONLY SPECIFIC ITEMS OF THE PROPERTY CODE RELATE TO A LEASE OPTION.Also, the seller must have fee simple title, which is no big deal as that is how we hold title in TX, but you can't (per the law) do a SLO.
