Back to back’s – How to “buy” the Lease Option

I am looking at “Sandwich” or “Back to Back” Lease Options and I would like some help with wording how to ask for a lease option, please.

I have my head pretty well around selling a lease option, but, I don’t yet have a real punchy way to ask for control of a property on a lease option in the first place. Just saying something like “I’d love to buy this house, but I don’t have any money” obviously doesn’t put me in a really strong footing, does it?

I’ve considered “My money is tied up for the next 2 years, so I’d like to rent the property in the meantime”, but it still isn’t there.

I’ve looked at “How about I give you your price, with some now and some later. I’ll give you $1 now and the rest at $XXX per week.” Closer, but Still not quite there. Adding a bit would be something like $1000 now, the rest in 3 years and I’ll pay you $XXX per week in the mean time.” But it’s still not there.

Or should I be asking along the lines of “I’d really like to rent it now and buy it down the track. How much rent would I have to pay in order to purchase down the track?”

I feel like I’m not quite going in the right direction with this, so I figured I’d ask people who do it far more often than I have.

So, How do you actually ask for a Lease Option that you’re going to turn around and Lease Option?

thanks,

Craig.
