Tenants want to Buy

[Shelley Alterman]

I am a licensed  realtor/property manager. Two of my tenants have expressed an interest in doing a lease option on their homes. The owners have also expressed an interest in doing a lease option with them.  I am not sure how to do this deal since I am already in a working relationship with both parties.Do I just collect a option fee to put the deal together and get out of the picture  or is there a better way I should structure the deal? These tenants are already in a lease with a agreed upon rent for example lets say they are currently paying  $1000 a month. Does their rent go up say $100 and they put a 3% option fee down. This way the owner is getting $100 more a month plus not paying a management fee and I get the option fee?  Suggestions appreciated.
