Lease Option Technique
Introduction
Have you ever wondered why some of the most successful real estate investors choose to use lease options? This technique offers several compelling advantages, and here's how it can benefit both buyers and sellers.
No Down Payment
You might be thinking, "I'd never offer a deal with no down payment!" But as a savvy real estate investor, you can find motivated sellers and secure your next home using the lease option with zero money down. There's no need to inform the seller that an option fee is typically expected.
Principle Pay Down
Combining an option with a lease opens up possibilities for building equity. By applying part of the monthly lease payment to the property's purchase price, you widen the gap between market value and loan amount. If the rent aligns with market rates, this is essentially free money! For example, a 30-year, $100,000 loan at 7% starts with about $82 per month in principal payments, while a $100 monthly rent credit surpasses that every month for nearly three years.
No New Loan Required
One significant advantage of the lease option is that no "new loan" is needed when the buyer decides to purchase. This usually requires working with an informed mortgage broker and is often achieved through a refinance, reducing out-of-pocket expenses for closing.
Capture Appreciation
A major benefit of controlling a property through an option is capturing appreciation. The longer the term, the more appreciation you can secure. In the single-family market, where terms often range from 12 to 24 months, even modest appreciation can add up. For example, with a 3% annual increase, a 24-month term on a $100,000 property could yield an additional $6,000.
Conclusion
The lease option technique is a powerful tool in real estate investment. By leveraging its benefits?"no down payment, increased equity, avoiding new loans, and capturing appreciation?"you can make strategic moves in the housing market to secure your next home advantageously.
