Has anyone has any success putting tenants into lease option programs with buyers who could not get traditional financing?

**Well, right now i have a "sales contract", and an "agreement for assignment of contract" that came with a program i purchased, but i am not sure if i can use those for the state i am in which is California.

With seller assistance, you could configure a 95 CLTV loan program, but you would need a 20% seller 2nd.Regards,Scott Miller

It is put in a placement program which is an escrow account.

Somehow you also get some sort of "master's" once you accomplish their course, but from what I have heard about this program, this really doesn't mean anything.

If you lose the case you can be blocked from any eviction for X months (retaliation is assumed).Your ownership does not provide you with full control once you have a tenant.

In one state I know an old person can defer the property taxes by signing up with a specific program.

I am leaning toward doing moving my account into a checkbook control LLC with Guidant Financial, after this experience.Jon
