Private Money comes in all shapes, sizes, flavors and at every imaginable costs/fees structure.  

There is no issue with giving a past owner an option to repurchase that I'm aware of in our area, a lease-option cam have a different flavor, so check with a local attorney.The option could be made with a third party who in turn agrees to sell back to the original owner, I think adding a buffer or strawman would clog any path back to you if you're not a party to that end transaction, you'd be letting someone to act as a wholesaler or buyer/flipper.

this preys on people who have money, but their credit isn't good enough to get a bank involved).LTOs pay all taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance ($$$).LTO's pay market rent at a minimum, often slightly higher than market ($$$$$).LTO's receive none of the tax benefits of home ownership, because they don't own it ... they are waiting out the clock, and trying not to violate the terms of their agreement until they own it.I won't even attempt to get into all the different flavors of shadiness that investors will paint themselves to obtain property to sell LTO, that's a whole different rant.In this situation, the owner (real estate investor or otherwise) gets all the benefits.  

There are different flavors of appreciation, and not all of them are speculative.
