How To Buy Real Estate the Easy Way

Have you given up on ever buying a home?

Would you like to own a home now, but can't qualify now?

If you answered "yes" to either of these questions, I've got good news for you.

For the first time ever, a new special report reveals powerful information to use to buy your next home without banks.

This report presents a detailed approach to the most flexible technique in real estate, it's called Owner Financing, Lease Option, Rent to Own, Sweat Equity, Paint For Profit etc.

A Lease Option can be a tremendous benefit to homebuyers, home sellers, landlords, investors or real estate agents.

Here's how Buyers, Sellers and even Agents can profit from Lease Options!

What is the major "roadblock" in real estate? I mean, what keeps would-be homebuyers from getting their piece of the American Dream?

Banks and Bank Loans!

Lenders tack on huge fees, make buyers jump through hoops, require large down payments and slow down the whole process. They are the main reason it takes so long for buyers to meet their requirements. And then it could take another 45 to 60 days to close.

On the sale of a $180,000 house, lender fees, appraisal fees, survey, other closing costs, prepaids, points and commissions can run as high as $20,000 or more!

There is a better way.

It works so easily because all parties involved can get what they want out of a Lease Option transaction.

Advantages To Buyer

1. Very low down payment - 3 to 5% vs. 10 to 30%

3. Option consideration is credited

9. Buys time to repair credit or build extra down payment if needed

10. Quick move in time, no long or lengthy escrows or mortgage approvals

11. Variety of housing available now

Here is a real example of how a Lease Option benefited everyone involved…

John, with a recent bankruptcy, met with a mortgage broker who said he could get a loan through in about 18 months or so if he kept his credit clean. Lenders typically like to see two years of clean credit after a bankruptcy before they will make a new loan.

An 18-month lease option was arranged with a purchase price of $175,000. John would pay higher than normal rent of $1,450 but would get $450 per month credited towards the purchase price if he paid on time each month (per this example).

The Seller
Home Buyers Depot (HBD) quickly gets the sales price of $175,000 they wanted and a secure deal. They received $8,750 upfront as a non-refundable option fee. HBD also gets about $200/month in slightly above market rent that produced a positive cash flow. In the end, HBD received more from the sale than they normally would have because they avoided a full sales commission and holding costs. If the Buyer would have defaulted, HBD could keep the option fee of $8,750, and the Buyer could also lose the monthly rent credit going towards the purchase at closing.

The Buyer
John came out great also! He and his family got possession immediately of a lovely new home. By the end of 12 - 18 months, John had some time to deal with his credit issues. John also had a history of monthly payments paid on time and gave a fairly nice deposit upfront at the beginning of the lease option agreement.

The Agent (in this example)
Sue received some of her commissions on the front end (a piece of the $8750), and when John got qualified 12 - 18 months later, Sue got the balance of the 3.5% commission.

p.s. Normally Agents don't like to wait.

Everyone wins!

Everyone came out a winner as is often the case with lease options!
