Lease Option Offers

Your real estate agent will most likely handle all the paper work. I would have the agent ask the listing agent or the seller if they would consider renting the property with an option to buy. There are two contracts. One is the actual lease agreement, the other is the option agreement. There are examples of the contracts you would use on www.totalrealestatesolutions.com under free forms. Make sure your lease agreement does not have a no sublease clause.

Thanks for the site. I know about the clause and that there are two different forms, I guess I am just confused on how the actual offer is submitted. I mean obviously I wouldnt submit a projected lease and purchase agreement.....Thanks again for the site though.

Here is a really great forum on the subject of lease options. This should answer most of your questions:

I was reading your post and was wondering, are you wanting to purchase the property or do you have the property and you are the seller? Is the property listed or fsbo? If you are buying it using a lease/option, on the contract will be writen up asking the seller if they would accept a lease/option. If they agree, you will sign a rent contract and a sales contract with the option to buy at a predetermined time and a predetermined price. You are not required to purchase, but you have the option to do so.

I will be meeting with a property owner tomorrow (my first deal!) who is renting the unit. He is willing to lease it for at least a year.
i want to get it under contract and then put a tenant in under an agreement to lease with option to purchase.
What would be the best way to approach this seller in regards to terms, future price of unit and how much money to offer as consideration payment?
The unit is 2/1, comps in area between $78K - $110K

I look forward to any ideas you may have.

Thanks,
