JTurner,

The rents are yours.

Lease option question… - Posted by jturner

This question may be way out there but I was just curious.
When you purchase a house with a lease option you can then sublease(rent) it out to someone else for more or less than what you are paying. Is it possible to do this with multi-unit buildings (8 units or more) if you were to live in one of the apartments and and rented out the rest. Could you collect the rents or would the seller of the apartment building collect the rents since he holds legal title to the property.

Thanks for any advice
Jason T.

Not a silly question at all, in fact, it is done quite often. I cover this issue in my “Lease/Options Workshop.” You can master lease an undervalued property with an option to purchase, improve the property, jack up the rents, then sell it for property by simultaneously exercising your option (or exercise your option and buy it yourself).

Thanks for the advice, but could I collect the rents from the tenants since I have an option to buy or would the titleholder still collect the rents…

No, you collect the rents
