I've bought a two traditional rentals in Pennsylvania in the past year, and I am attempting to speed up my acquisitions by getting into lease options.I'm purchasing this average 3/1 1970's range turnkey property subject to, in a suburb outside of Shreveport, Louisiana to turn into a lease option.Here are the stats:Current Value: ~$140,000I'm putting 6k down + closing costs, after light cosmetic touches I'll be into the property for about 10kSubject to mortgage: $101,000 3.5% $820/month PITICurrent Market Rent: $1300/monthMy goal here is to sell on a lease option with a 36 month term.Option Fee: $15,000Rent: 1350/month with a $50 creditPurchase Price after 36 months: $145,000 ($143,200)Is this option fee realistic?  

I would do option 2.

@Shiloh Lundahl Yes, there are lots of situations where life changes for the tenant buyer and they could appreciate the option of the lease option.

Has anyone heard of Baselane banking as an option for real estate investors, and if so, is it a solid option? 

Over my 30 years investing I have invested using a variety of lease options to control and/or buy properties.

I’m looking at funding options.

I'm looking to learn more about real estate in this local market and understand all the details and options involved.

Or4) Another option I'm not aware of? 

Are there any alternative loan options or creative strategies to use or seen others use after they hit the conventional loan limit?
