It answered great.
Here’s another one for you…
How lonng of a period of time do you give the tenant/buyer to decide on buying?
And if they DO decide do buy it, is that when you would actually be buying it from the builder (in the manner of a simultaneous closing)?
I just want to get this all straight in my head before I go forward, so thanks for answering my questions.
By the way, I am EXTREMELY impressed at how fast you went out and got going. That is some piece of work!

Just a few questions for Jim from a newbie…

First I wanted to know how you avoided having to put forth any money for your option to buy from your seller.

Am I right that you need “option money” from the people that you will be renting to or are you only renting to these people and not L/O-ing to them?

Also, isn’t this the same as sub-letting or is that something entirely different?

Sorry for all the questions, but the answers woul dbe a huge help! :slight_smile:

Congratulations on taking the ball and runing with it!

The answer to your first question “How did you avoid putting any option money down.”

Basically the guy never asked me for any money down and I never offered him any.

I am L/O these homes to Tenant/Buyers and yes I am requiring them to pay me option money. Yes it the same as sub-letting. I am Leasing the homes with an option to sub-let from the builder.

Hope this answers your questions.
