Hi Everyone,
thanks for all your fantastic ideas and sharing of knowledge.
Has anyone heard of the arrangement whereby an investor allows a tenant buyer to choose their own property?
The investor would have to pre-qualify the tenant-buyer and tell them a price range that they could shop in.
When the TB finds a house they like, the investor signs up the tenant-buyer to a wrap or lease-option deal, pays for the house and immediately collects income with a locked in profit, which is realised when the tenant-buyer gets traditional finance.
If one could make an offer on the property subject to the tenant-buyer going through with the lease option or wrap, it would remove a lot of doubt and risk as to whether one was going to have any vacancy between date of settlement and beginning of Tenant-buyer’s lease.
i’d love to know your thoughts.
regards,
Andy
Yes – I do what you have suggested for finding wrap leads.
In the first instance, I run classified ads to attract leads and then once filtered I qualify them to buy property up to a pre-determined level.

Hmmm- it might be difficult to do this as (in Victoria anyway) the Sale of Land Act does not permit you selling a property before you own it.
I’m also concerned that a subject-to clause of this magnitude would be difficult to negotiate.
What I do is buy the property and try to have my buyer remain interested in the deal. The best way has been to get them to pay an pre-application fee (of say $1,000) that comes off their purchase price (or deposit) when they go through with the deal.
If they don’t then they lose the $1,000.
Other non-financial incentives such as getting them to move in asap and keeping in contact with them about the status of the purchase are important too.
Bye,
Steve McKnight
