Why Own It When You Can Control It With A Lease Option!

Having spent 41 years in the real estate business I’ve seen lots of investors buying properties, fixing them up and renting them out looking for some monthly income along with long term appreciation.

That’s a good thing but having experienced the hassles that come along with being a property owner and a landlord like debt, tenants, and repairs I figured there had to be a better way and it’s called control without ownership.

Why would you want all the hassles of being a conventional landlord when there is a better way?

Why would you want to go to a bank and go into debt for thousands and thousands of dollars when you can control the same house for $10.00.

Why would you want to take a chance on finding the tenant from hell (trust me the odds are you will at some point) when you can work with a tenant/buyer who will care for the property because he wants to buy it.

Why would you want to get those 2am calls that the kids flushed everything down the toilet can you come fix it when your tenant/buyer would be responsible for repair and maintenance.

I’d rather have three paydays from a house I never own and never have to fix up or even maintain.

Impossible you say!

Not so because I’ve done a ton of them and I’m still going strong. As I mentioned above its called control without ownership and the way to the Promised Land is through Lease Options.

Not only can you do the sandwich lease that I have been describing above but you can also do wholesale lease options and work with all the homes out there with no or little equity?

I’d like to give you a copy of my new e-book “Wholesale Lease Options For Wholesalers” where you can learn how to increase your bottom line 3 fold in a heartbeat!
