lease option: Do your homework and you may get a reward - 11/18/08 12:50 PM
Nothing upsets me more than when I see an expired listing that only expired because it had a lazy agent involved. I had one of those experiences, but I have to say that lazy agent made me look like a rock star to this seller.
You see this home had been on the market for six months with another agent and that agent just couldn't sell it. It only had one picture on the MLS, she didn't do her homework on the property, and she was missing one big selling point about this property that made it a slam dunk for … (87 comments)

lease option: What do you tell a another agent’s buyer when they call you crying - 09/28/08 06:02 PM
Today I got a call from a lady who was crying uncontrollably. So much so that I was having a hard time understanding her. But, when I finally got her to calm down enough that I could understand her, she wanted to know what she could do. She had gone with another agent, despite reading my posts and now had a 24 hour notice on her door.
I didn't want to get too involved for legal reasons, but I did give her the number of two good real estate attorneys here locally. The problem was she bought a home on owner … (113 comments)

lease option: If you can’t sell it, I’m going to rent it (HUH?) - 08/11/08 08:49 AM
I recently had a client call me two weeks after I took a listing from her and she told me if I didn't have it sold in 20 days, that she was going to take it off the market and rent it out for $1500 a month.

What? OK, first of all, I have a six month listing and I wouldn't have taken it had I known I only had thirty days to sell this at a slightly higher price than the competition. Also, I find this very weird since she wouldn't even consider doing a lease option for … (16 comments)

lease option: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Lease Options and Owner Financing - 07/03/08 12:16 PM
There are many reasons people do either a lease option or owner financing, but usually the biggest is credit issues. Now, this doesn't mean that all people taking these options are in this situation.  
I've had many people do a lease option because they are hired on at a position at a company and they don't know if they will be hired on permanently. But until they are they don't want to buy a house, but they would like to buy the house they are in if they do get hired on.
Another reason is, I have many clients that … (1 comments)

lease option: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Helping Families Home - 05/25/08 01:37 AM
Why I love my career and helping people. Everyday, I have people come to me when everyone else has said no to them. They find me on the net saying I help those who are told no by others.
What usually is the case was no one was willing to sit down with a potential buyer or seller and tell them they had more than one option.
More times than not, the situation isn't as dire as they were lead on to believe it was. It was just a situation that the other agents weren't prepared to do that much … (5 comments)

lease option: Hiteon Park in Beaverton, Oregon - 01/15/08 11:04 AM
Hiteon Park in Beaverton, Oregon is a smaller park that seems a lot bigger because it connects to a school. Baseball fields, and even the school playground equipment, are available if the kids got bored with the equipment in the park.
Personally, my kids got bored rather quickly at this park, but if you wanted a place to practice baseball or softball and a place for a younger sibling to play while practice is going, on then this is a great park. It also has bathroom available and is on a bus line.
This park is located between Davies Road and 135th … (2 comments)

lease option: In Default in Oregon, don’t get conned by the “We will buy your home and lease option it back to you scam” - 11/26/07 01:27 PM
Why do I say this is a scam? In some states the banks won't allow you to purchase the home at a discount with the intent of selling it back to the person in default. It is mortgage fraud!
The second reason is, even if it isn't written into the deed that they buyer can't sell it back to you, the contract they have with you is they buy the property from the bank for usually $20,000-$30,000 less than you own and then lease option it back to you for ONE YEAR and one year only. Then you agree to buy … (7 comments)

lease option: The Lease Option Home Question in Beaverton, Oregon - 09/26/07 03:27 PM
The number one question I get from my buyers of lease option properties is how do I get paid? I get usually between $50-$100 from your monthly rent and the remaining when you exercise the option to purchase the property.
I tell them this is why, despite me telling them they can get a house with no credit check, I still want a copy of their credit report. What I do during the terms of the lease, is I help them work on their credit issues at no cost to them! I tell them that it is in my best interest … (17 comments)

lease option: How do you increase the value of your home? - 09/21/07 01:09 PM
Do you need a certain amount of money out of your home, but it just isn't worth that yet? I have a solution for you that can be done in any market. It doesn't matter if it is a sellers or a buyers market! I can get you much more than the appraised value for your home, and it really doesn't take any extra work on your part, like doing a complete remodel would.
The way to do this, is for you the owner, to either offer a lease-option or owner-financing. This can increase the amount of money you get for … (3 comments)

lease option: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Lease-Options are on the rise, but so are lawsuits (Localism Featured) - 09/19/07 12:57 AM
I've been writing about and doing lease options for awhile now. I'm constantly getting calls from investors who say, "If I were selling my home, I would use you. But, I'm only lease optioning it and I can do that without you." I tell them, "But you ARE selling your home, it is just on a delayed closing."
Now one to two years later, these same investors are calling me back saying they are being sued and if I can help them. I tell them I could have if I SOLD your home. But, you chose to sell FSBO, on lease … (9 comments)

Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Lease Option your home for bigger profit! by Todd Clark
Do you own a home and want to make a little more money from it? Try lease optioning it to a new buyer. This will not only sell your home more quickly, but you will realize large profits.
If you have owned a home, even for a short time, you can help someone get in to their first home. Let's look at two examples and see what happens. The first example is if you have owned your home a very short time and your mortgage payments are … (18 comments)

lease option: Get your investment property today with a lease-option - Part 2 - 07/02/07 01:27 PM
Last week I wrote about a condo conversion my company was doing and that I wanted to purchase one, as aninvestment, on a lease-option.
http://activerain.com/blogsview/134408/Get-your-investment-property
The problem that I had, was someone was living in the unit I wanted and I was offering to buy them out of theirlease and then move in.
Well, I'm happy to say, the owner accepted my offer for a lease option, but we didn't get the original unit that Iwrote about. What I considered to be a even better unit opened up, with a bigger back yard and we decided totake that one. My family and I are … (4 comments)

lease option: Buying a home in Beaverton Oregon: Lease Options and Owner Financing a good opportunity - 05/16/07 12:41 AM
Some people are unable to get a home because of medical bills, divorce or just bad decisions in the past. This doesn't mean you can't get a home, it just means that you have to find someone willing to help you.
First of all I need to tell you that most people have better credit than they think they do. When someone calls me and tells me that they have to do a lease-option or owner financing because of their credit being too bad, I advise them to talk to a mortgage broker and get their credit checked by a professional. 75% … (0 comments)

lease option: Beaverton Oregon Real Estate: Owner Financing or Lease-Option a great way to get a first home - 04/19/07 10:22 PM
A lot of young couples were taught by their parents that the only way to freedom is through home ownership. Their parents were right! The only problem is banks won't lend to someone without a very long work or credit history. There are other problems that can affect someone getting a home through a traditional bank. Divorce, Child Support or a Judgment can all affect you getting in to a home.
This doesn't mean you can't get into a home, it just means you need to be more creative about financing it. Many home owners that I work with offer owner-financing, … (1 comments)
