There are so many ways to close your lease option. They all have pros and cons. Please tell us the way you have done it that worked for you.

Thank you.

Like other deals, control is key. Lead them to your pre-selected, chosen lender, who will look at their option as if it were already an equitable position, consider their (presumably good) payment history to date, and write the loan as a refi, with lower fees and faster track.

If they try to use their own lender, be sure you're in contact with that lender early on or you'll lose control. If the Comps won't support your strike price, offer to carry a second, even a silent (no payments) second in the hopes of getting the rest later.

The second should have a five-year balloon (I make it for no payments/no interest), so they will be forced to refi and cash it out. If they move on to another house before then , you will get a phone call from the closing agent telling you to come pick up your check.

King,
How do you still get a check if the T/B chooses not to exercise their option and move on to another house?

I'm talking about when they have exercised their Option but there is a gap between what they can borrow and what the house is worth (you can take back a small second to make the deal work). When they sell to buy another house (or refinance), you will get a phone call.
