Been in the solar industry for 4 years.Typically the sellers options with the lease are:1) Transfer it with the sale of the property (which assumes the buyer is qualified and willing to accept the lease - qualification usually based solely on FICO score).2) Pay off the lease (usually according to a payment schedule, which may include early termination fees).Option #2 can be really expensive.How old is the lease?

You have many options for low down payment on a duplex (2-Unit) these days between FHA, Home Ready and Home Possible (if you or the area you are trying to buy in qualify).

At our property management company we are now writing all of our leases as 10-month leases, with 12-month renewals for those who want to stay and qualify.
