Buyers of Lease to Own have some kind of issue with their "debt to income" or FICO score, if you're good at getting that FICO score issue better, and give the buyers time to pay down some debt, you can sell the idea of the buyer putting 3 to 5% down in a lease to own arrangement.  

The only time we've successfully levered a note was when we had an end buyer for a larger commercial note where we flipped to a pre-arranged end-buyer, but needed the money super-short-term. 

In Cleveland our newly elected housing court judge grew up in public housing and has arranged for the legal aid society to provide free legal council to tenants with landlord issues.   

How many bedrooms, what would the arrangement be?

Americans are typically not used to this arrangement and in many states dual agency is actually illegal (for good reason because there is an inherent conflict of interest).

You could do what is called a Tenant-In-Common (TIC) arrangement where an investor has 1031 exchange funds and wants to parlay that money into a syndication.

My advice would be to find investors on BP that have actually done it and arrange calls with them to understand their experience.

If you happen to have any referrals or recommendations for other private leasing arrangements, please let us know.

Very simple its a sales lease back arrangement.. they are selling you a property taking profit on that transaction then giving you a set return and then hope  to rent it out for more than your payment and make the delta.. 

Since I've never done a seller-finance deal I am hoping that the attorney I work with can help me better understand the legal/contractual arrangement and walk me through it a little.
