This is a unique situation
We have a lease-to-buy person who needs 3 years to be ready to buy the house back from you, the investor-owner.
The person who wants to buy the house in 3 years is a family member of our local agent.
Correction: This is not our agent family member. It’s a family member of the person who brought the deal to our agent.
The plan is
- You buy this house (asking is 390k but we believe it can be bought for $350k)
- A tenant would pay $10,000 in option fee
- Lease option fees are typically non-refundable if they don’t exercise the option the owner would have the prerogative to extend it or not
- Rent it for $2500/mo for 3 years
- Buy the house back for $50,000 more ($400,000)
- The tenant would take care of maintenance
Benefits/Who Should Consider it
- An investor who is looking for a “shorter” term position – ie sell w/in 3 years
- This type of lease-to-buy reduces the chances of tenant turnover, a property manager may not be required, no leasing fee – this is an opportunity to have a less “noise”
- We are exploring w/ the lease-tenant about payment of the HOA fee – this means it is likely the owner will have an additional $342/mo in cashflow!!
The House
- A similar (250 sq ft smaller) house in the community is listed for $430k (on the market for ~35 days)
- It is 2 bedrooms + a loft on a cul-de-sac surrounded by trees and beautiful landscaping
- The finished lower level has a rec area, office, full bathroom, storage, and laundry room.
- HOA amenities include a pond with fountain, clubhouse, tennis court & pool.
- HOA includes landscaping, including gutter cleaning and more
Guarantees
- Like any other lease or investment, there is always the chance the tenant won’t exercise the option
