If you are investor who deals with real estate, you must be looking for ways to increase your profits. If this describes you, then let me tell you about lease options; a convenient way to go. Lease options refer to an arrangement where a house or piece of property will be bought at a later date, but for which monthly payments are made by the potential buyer.

The agreement is more or less like a rental arrangement but what happens is that, the buyer or lease holder signs an agreement with the seller, bearing in mind that in the period of one year he is supposed to be completing payments for buying the property. Upon signing the agreement, the buyer makes a down payment.

Subsequently, he makes monthly payments that are slightly higher than the market value of the property. How do you as the investor earn, you ask? Note that you will be getting slightly higher income from tenants who are with you on a long term basis. Your tenants also contribute significantly to making improvements to the property, as they will treat it as their own.  

This arrangement works for most buyers because, the terms are much softer and more consumer friendly than the hire purchase terms or the rental terms. In fact, you will be surprised to find that most of them are willing to pay up to 15% more than the market value just because of the attached option. However, a seller must be prepared for such unseen eventualities as depreciation of the value of the property, which may force the buyer to fall out of the agreement.

Today leasing is very popular. Instead of buying your car, you can lease it. When the lease expires, you return the old car to the dealer and you can lease a newer model. One reason that leasing is so popular is that a smaller amount of money is required up front and monthly payments are low. This is a very appealing concept to many people.

We lease houses, mobile homes, apartments and even the things inside them. People lease steamers for drapes and carpet cleaners and floor polishers to keep their floors clean as new. If you can’t afford to purchase all your appliances and furniture, you can lease them. Some homeowners buy a second house, fix it up and then lease it out to others. This can be particularly profitable if you have your second house at a desirable location, such as the shore or in the mountains.

We also lease things for their entertainment value. For a child’s birthday party, parents rent clowns, ponies and magicians for hours at a time. Local pools can be rented for an afternoon, after regular pool hours or a day. Many restaurants offer space to lease for lunches for children. Some movie theatres provide space in the lobby area and special price arrangements for children celebrating their birthdays by going to the movies. For an adult occasion, portions of restaurants and halls can be leased and catering services engaged. Weddings, bat/bar mitzvahs, graduation parties and reunions require leasing many items. Aside from the hall or huge tent at an outdoors event, silverware, linens, tables, chairs and audio visual equipment are leased. A wedding involves a number of leased items, including the church, florist, catering, supplies, DJ, photographer and the groom’s and best men’s tuxedos.
