All Topics / Help Needed! / Lease option – Rent to Buy
Hi All
I am settling on a unit next month and am wanting to turn it into a +ve geared property so that I can move onto my next one. My best option for doing this I feel is to put a “rent to buy” option on it.
Is there anyone out there who has successfully implemented a lease option and has gone through advertising it, having real estate like signs outside the buldings etc.
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

I’ve done some lease options, but let a real estate agent do all that for me.
In the end, I beleive that they way I did it (just like the examples in Steve’s books) was not worth it. For only a very small return I ended up giving away too much to the option holder.
If you are going to lease option, then i suggest you go for a short option term of maybe 2 years. You don’t want these dragging on much longer than that, and if you do a short term one, you could negotiate another option fee and a higher strike price if they wanted to go ahead.

Thanks Terry.
You just confirmed my thoughts on l/os. I am considering of only setting it up for 3 years.
