Lease Options - Selling Properties Using a Lease Option

http://www.REIClub.com - What Are The Benefits To Selling Properties Using A Lease Option? Here's Why Real Estate Investors Use Lease Options To Sell Their Real Estate Investments...

Hi, this is Frank Chen with REIClub.com, the only site you need as a real estate investor. Today I've got a quick video on selling your real estate investment using a lease option with the option to purchase.

Main Benefits For Selling using Lease Options :
- retain ownership of the property, tax benefits
- increase monthly cash flow
- no minor maintenance issues
- sell price higher than the current market
- higher monthly payment compared to a tenant renter

Marketing Your Real Estate Investment
- ads - craigslist, green sheet.com, etc...
- bandit signs
- etc... tons of marketing videos
- to locate tenant/buyers / build buyers list

Screening Tenant Buyers
- Background checks
- Credit history
- Use voicemail system - Houses available via rent to own - Name, phone, email, fax - How much can they afford to put down - How much can they pay monthly - Much faster than screening each call from your ad

Lease Options Agreement
- Two Lease Option Agreements - Lease Agreement - Option Agreement

- Agree to a purchase price - fixed number - 5-10% more than market (convenience and appreciation) - appraisal to validate price - banks loan to appraised value, not the agreed amount between tenant buyer and landlord

- Option money - 2-4% of purchase price (secure the option) - secures option - down payment - If not, real estate investor keeps

- Rent Credits - what portion of rent goes towards balance? Usually $100-200 - reduce closing costs - reduce sales price - usually lenders disallows this - problematic for tenant buyers
- you also may hear about rent credits in courses, but we suggest to keep it simple and skip it when selling

- Term of lease option - 6-24 months - Time needed for credit repair?

- Insurance - Change your policy to dwelling - Tenant needs own liability insurance

Lease options create a unique opportunity for real estate investors. They allow you to work with people who would otherwise not be able to qualify for financing, you get increased rents, a reliable tenant, and it allows real estate investors to move your real estate investments in a slow market, One thing to pay attention to are the varying state laws on lease options, basically different requirements, so be sure to brush up on your own state.

Good Job Frank,but couple of things:

1- If possible, please speak a little slower

2- you mentioned that would give information about how to fond buyers and sellers and how to do it in an effective way. Would you do it?

Thank you, I enjoyed the video.

I love watching you and listening to you. You are a dedicated to getting people to understand how to do these things. That's awesome. You make it all very easy to do this.

I am having trouble getting this started. It seems the sellers are hard to get a hold of them, any suggestions, all help needed.
