Use a Lease Option in a Probate Buyout to Take Control of Property

ownit — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:27:01 +0000

This is one of those creative buying methods for a seller and a buyer of a home in Probate. Once the Petition for Probate has been filed and a Personal Representative has been appointed; they will have the authority to sell the property to you.

The lease option in general is when a written condition between two people agrees to let the buyer lock in a future price for the property. The buyer has the option to exercise at anytime during the stated period. During the time limit if the lease option has not been used then he or she loses all rights to the property. These kinds of sells usually come up when the seller even in or out Probate can’t get the price they want. The following is how a lease option would workout between two people.

The Probate purchase advantages allow you to control real property (real estate) for 2, 4 or even 5 years with little of your own money. Then you can purchase the property at your previously agreed upon price point. Exercising your option is what this is called. The advantage for the estate is that the Personal Representative can go ahead and start getting some money’s to settle the estate.

As the world population continues to grow from 6.1 billion to 9.3 billion people in 2050 the Probate real estate market will continue to be a bottomless pit! The niche is wide open! Most heirs’ are happy to hear from a agent. http://garycooperrealestatecornesstoneinvestors.com

Lease Option Benefits for Investors

ownit — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 05:26:42 +0000

Lease options have tremendous benefits for investors especially in today’s market where real estate transactions are lower and lending is tight. If you are renting a home, it may be a great idea to lease option. Here are some tremendous benefits, I am sure you will consider this as an exit strategy.

Higher rents with option payments – You get monthly rent and a monthly option payment that is non refundable if the buyer doesn’t execute the purchase contract. If the buyer does execute the purchase contract the option payments go towards the purchase.
Down Payment – You also get a down payment that is non refundable if the buyer doesn’t execute the purchase contract. If the buyer does execute the purchase contract the amount goes towards the purchase.
No agent fees – If the investor finds the lease option buyer then there are no agent fees involved. There are agents that do lease options but the fees will not be 6%.
Higher sales price – Lease option buyers do not have as many options as qualified buyers or cash buyers. Therefore they do not have as much bargaining power and the seller can negotiate a strong sales price.
No vacancy issues – Lease option buyers do not move as much as renters, it is very rare for them to move out in fact.
No maintenance responsibility – Sellers can make the lease option buyers responsible for maintenance, make sure to have home insurance and a home warranty to further mitigate maintenance risk.
Different ways to make money – Lease optioning a home you own is not the only way investors can make money with lease options. Consider a lease option service that brings together buyers and sellers for a fee, lease option sandwich, lease option assignment, find sellers that will lease options their home to you then rehab and flip, etc. You can even get fees referring people to credit repair agencies, agents, lenders, property managers, etc.

Land Contract vs. Lease Option (Rent to Own)

ownit — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 06:28:46 +0000

Okay, you are trying to sell your home, but the market is really soft right now. So you need to be creative.

You finally found a potential buyer. That person absolutely LOVES your home and wants to buy it, but they don’t have enough money to buy a home outright. Plus, this person’s credit isn’t good enough to qualify for a loan. They need time to repair their credit.

What can you do?

Two possible solutions are to sell your home to someone on a Land Contract or a Lease Option (also called rent to own). Either of these provide the buyer time to improve his or her credit enough to qualify for a loan to purchase the home from you outright.

Quick Explanation: The buyer buys the property and gets everything EXCEPT for the deed. The seller holds onto the property deed until the final payment is made. The buyer makes payments toward the purchase of the home, and the seller charges interest. Often, the land contract will have a balloon payment at the end of a period, anywhere from two (2) to ten (10) years, forcing the buyer to get a loan or lose the property.
