Lease Option/rent To Own

Is a lease option and a rent to own deal the exact same thing? If not what are the specific differences?

    The answer is yes and/or no.

    A lease/option has two components: an occupancy agreement (the lease) and an option,the right [but not the obligation] to buy within a certain time limit and pricet.

    A "rent to own" can be a lease/option if you want it to be. Many times to be a little different in advertising it is posted as a rent to own or lease to own or rent to buy, or buy like rent.

    But, it can be any one of a number of other owner financing techniques. Such as a "contract for deed", a wrap-around -mortgage, www.etc.etc.

    If you enter into a lease option but only want it as an investment can you sub-lease to another tenent?

    Yes you can sub-lease, as long as a clause saying that lessee has right to sub-lease and/or assign this lease agreement, or something to that effect is in your lease you enter into with the seller.,

    There is a book (by Conti and Finkel) that deals with this topic. I just started reading it but so far the strategies presented seem sound. I will be planning to use their method in a few weeks.

    Happy Investing

    Will you please post again after you make your 1st deal using this method?

    Also, do you have a title for that book you were referring to in your post?
