Lease Options Contracts

Hi everyone, 

I'm currently trying to negotiate a contract for lease option with a seller. I have pulled 2 documents to use as a reference, however, I keep running into lawyers that don't seem to know very much about how to write one up. Does anyone have any firm recommendations?

Thank you.

Ya you'll find that a lot of lawyers and other professionals will be clueless on real estate.

All you need is

1) A rental agreement - you can find these usually pre-made in your city. I have a shop in my town that has all sorts of legal documents for $5-$10 per.

2) Option agreement - You can find these also at the same type of shop

These two documents MUST be separate documents. DO NOT have a combined version or you may regret it.

If all else fails and you cannot find these at a document shop near you then search for a "real estate laywer" and they SHOULD be able to create these at an insane price.
