Maybe 10% to 25% more.If you can lock in a "strike price" of 20% less than comps today, 36 months lease, by the time you exercise, I believe you should not be risking much, especially if you can receive a rent credit to further decrease your strike price.Short leases are not a good idea right now with exercise of option sales prices based on current market comps.I hope that helps,Brian

Another good option would be to become a property inspector, except that you really need to have gray hair (IMHO) to gain peoples' trust in that role.

You get permission to market the property, but you act as a principal in the transaction, you lease option, then you assign the deal.You are upfront with the seller, very transparent about your profit.You add your assignment fee to the exercise price.Once you assign & get the fee, you are out of it.All the risk is on the Seller.Challenge here: Getting Tenant Buyers Fee: Cash plus 12 month note most of the time.Positives: No guaranteeing anything, e.g. minor maintenance paid, rents paid.Negatives: No back end when TBer gets funded.

So the trustee exercises his sale right and sells it for 100k.

How do you arrive at the exercise price?

I mean, what role should the government play in someone's inability to satisfy a debt?

In other words, the seller wants $1000 in option money, we have the TB write our LLC a check for $3000 (disclosing that $2000 will not be credited towards downpayment should they exercise their option), then we pay the seller the $1000 while keeping the $2000.

People actually cared enough to get off of the couch and exercise their right to vote.

So, whats your role in the game of real estate?

Now if you're looking for the 'rent' and would be happy with the gain if the option is exercised, there are some possibilities-just make sure you'd be happy owning the stock if it drops.
