I would appreciate hearing from other lease option folks about how they explain this aspect of lease options.

Okay , so from what you’ve explained, it’s clear that my message is not all compelling, because I am just not getting responses ...period. so, I guess I start from scratch and rework the narrative.

Having friends with some money to lend you is also a key.There is no way to do this by going to a bank for a loan.

This has never happened before so I'm explaining to owners why their properties are not renting.

Hello all,I'm just looking for a little advice and I know that the Bigger Pockets network will have some great stuff for me :)  My wife and I just went and looked at a house that is bank owned.

I currently own one rental property with a bank mortgage that I purchased at 21 yo (just over 2 years ago). 

Hi Everyone,I’m looking into applying for a fixed rate HELOC and was wondering if anyone has any recommendation on which bank or credit union I should focus on?

Your best bet is to have your agent recommend a legit lender....require buyers to meet Their preapproval process (a real one, tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, etc)....they don’t have use your lender for the loan, but meet their preapproval standards.

Then explain to them your plan.

@Ernesto Hernandez, I recommend contacting the local banks that are near this particular property, and preferably the smaller ones.
