Lease Options

ArtAt least once every year I have someone who wants to look into doing a lease option. It is usually a buyer I am working with, but it can also be a seller.

There are quite a few reasons a person would want to do an lease option. Usually it is because financially their situation will be different a year from now. Perhaps they want to save money for a down payment or they expect to be receiving money that could become a down payment. They need to move now and would really like to just move once: rent today and buy tomorrow.

I am currently working on a property that I represented the seller on who accepted a lease option. It is a very unique situation. Aging parents noticed the house for sale across the street from their daughter and son-in-law. Parents were not certain how their health and their personal situation would look a year ago. They entered into a lease option with my seller to “test the waters” with the house. It has worked out very well for them and they are now buying the house.

For my client, the seller, he appreciated the sound financial standing the buyer was able to demonstrate. In addition, he negotiated a good sales price by being willing to work with the option. He was not living in the house, having already moved. So his circumstances fit the situation as well.

Here is how the option worked. The buyers put down a very large, non-refundable option fee. This fee was paid directly to the seller. So the seller got a nice sum right up front. That option fee is being applied to the price of the house now that the option is being exercised. The buyers moved in and began paying rent. 10% of the rent they have paid for the last year is also being applied to the purchase price now that the option is being exercised. So the seller got money up front and got steady rent for a year. The buyer has already paid a portion of the purchase price through the rent and the option fee. It is coming together pretty smoothly.

However, there is risk. A seller needs legal council before entering into a lease option. That council needs to review his loan documents to see if the “Due on Sale” Clause usually contained in a mortgage can be triggered by a lease option. If it can, and the lender finds out about the option, the lender can call the loan due in full. This could create a bit of a crisis for both the seller who now has to cash out a mortgage,Oswego-Lake and for the buyer who may or may not want to buy the house.

I also think that most of the folks I council about lease options really are not in a position to do one. This is because if the reason for the option is lack of funds today, then they don’t have the means to pay an option fee up front.

My last comment is that a buyer wanting a lease option is probably better off simply finding a rental until they are ready to buy. There are very few sellers willing to do lease options. So finding a home you love, that is also available with a lease option, really narrows your house selection.

Real estate has so many things going on and, yes, lease options are one of them. It may even be something that would fit your current circumstances. Do not hesitate to give me a call if you have any questions.

Featured Property: 16998 Greentree Ave

I am excited to tell you about a new listing in the Palisades neighborhood. This house is unique in a couple of ways.

Greentree 003First, it’s a mid-century modern home with a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and open-beamed wood ceilings. Retro details include period door knobs and clean lines, all reflective of having been built in 1968.

Greentree 012Second, it’s a tremendous value for the area. With 2392 square feet, there are 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a big living room + a big family room, all for $409,900. On the same block of homes there is a house that is slightly larger for $499,000 and a recently remodeled home that is slightly smaller for $549,000. So the price on this house is a real value. The price reflects the fact that some remodeling has been done, but more is needed. The house has new exterior paint, a certified roof, and an updated kitchen. But it still needs updates to the baths and new windows.

Third, this house has a second kitchen in the lower level. The lot has a gentle slope with the carport and a separate entry downstairs. This makes the home ideal for in-law quarters, 2 separate living areas for house sharing, and any number of combinations. It is extremely flexible space.

Greentree 011The house has a big sunny lot that is fully fenced. It is adjacent to the Greentree pool. The new owner can continue the membership at the pool for $525 a year.

I would love to answer your questions and have the opportunity to show you this home. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
