Hi there every, just wondering if any one know about using options as a way to move on and move up? I'd be very interested in hearing back from the forum.
All the best,
Gerrard.

What do you want to know.
Most experienced property investors have used Call Options in their developing.
Hardest part is getting the Vendor to agree to accepting an option.
Rest is fairly straight forward.
Cheers

Do a google search on dr house property as he has a seminar that informs on what can be done with options.

Hi Gerrard
The two main reasons for using a call option in real estate are:
1. to control some property while you get a Development Application done and
2. to control property that you intend to occupy or on-sell to others with some form of vendor finance.
We work in the second area and if you'd like to learn about real estate vendor finance in Australia, I suggest you do a search for Vendor Finance here and in the Somersoft forum. You'll get an immense amount of reading material in both these forums.
A few web resources that may help in your search for information about vendor finance are:

You should also search on the options threads in here. Depends on how you're going to learn about them – through your own learning and research, or go down the seminar route. If you're going down the seminar route, serach thoroughly in this forum once again, read everything that's there before paying anyone any money. Also look up philip sigglekow (hope I spelt that right!) for options courses. Ive never done them or know him, but they're certainly more reasonably priced than the likes of some others.
