I am looking to expand my real estate business to include lease purchase/ lease option as a technique I use.

And send out a one page proposal to each of them without even viewing the properties offering to purchase them and a price calculated at 65% of market value.I use a similiar technique in e-mail fashion to find sellers willing to carry sub-ordinate liens.

Bottom line here is you want to understand what your cost of money is going to be so you can do your calculations acurately.You might reconsider those creative techniques.

Peter Conti has a good boook that goes into great detail about working with pre-foreclosures and other investing, using the "subject to" technique, and this is a popular technique in wholesaling properties, because you can buy without obtaining new financing, tie up the property until you can identify the buyer who has financing.

Now what techniques do you plan to use about finding these properties with motivated sellers?

Its a technique to sell houses quickly.

When things get rough agents and brokers give "creative financing" techniques to one another so that they may survive their commission only pay!

One is that they push "and/or assigns" as the technique to flip the property.

To avoid being a broker, I borrow a technique from the publishing industry.They are being paid as a business partner based on my profit on the deal.

Please do tell us more about your plans and technique.
