We're focusing on Lease Options and Cooperative Assignments in our market down in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Getting a few deals under my belt will give me some money to pay off all my bad debt which will lessen my expenses hence increasing monthly cash flow. Result = early retirement!It's true...How many Lease Option(Rent-to-Own) deals do you need to do PER YEAR to live comfortably? Two, Three, Four? And, done correctly, it's all with very low risk and usually with none of your money or credit!But the best thing...you're helping sellers and buyers who thought they had no other "option" other than just throwing it on the MLS and praying or throwing away rent for years trying to save up for a loan.Keep the success stories on L/O's coming! Jason…

Real estate always change form old hands to new hands. In five years if the value is less, you can still renegotiate. Say it is only worth 60k you can say ether sell it to me for 60k or I will buy the house across the street for 60k I think this is the future. Real estate always change form old hands to new hands.
