    Hi All

    I know many of you or very experienced in wrapping properties however I haven’t heard many of you talk about lease options.

    As you know I am starting out but I am getting mixed reports as to which line to take, some say only go wraps some say only go l/o.

    Anyones thoughts or advice as to pros/cons would be much appreciated.

    Hi Delboy

    I have made a few posts on this before.

    I prefer LOs for a number of reasons such as
    – easier to get finance
    – less problems with equity ownership (ie it is all yours)
    – you can access the increased equity
    – Can be shorter, say 2 years per option, allowing you to be more certain. ie wraps could drag on for 30 years.
    etc

    Hi Terry

    You say you can access increased equity.

    I thought it was ilegal to do so, well on wraps it is but on l/o you say it isn’t.

    I presume this means from once you don’t refinance above the agreed purchase price, is that right?

    It would depend how you structured the LO.

    eg one way, you could have a 2 year option, when they wish to renow after 2 years, the value would have risen so you could determine a new strike price and you could increase you loan to this amount (subject to serviceability).
