You might have heard of purchase lease options and want to learn the ropes. In this episode of The Property Magic Podcast, Simon dives in on purchase lease options—how you can use this tool with other property investing strategies, how you can profit out of it, how you can offer it to property owners, and more. Simon has been enjoying purchase lease options since the 2000s, and according to him, there’s not a better time than to give in and consider it NOW. There have been a lot of changes and restrictions (i.e. Section 24), it’s high time we learn how to navigate our way despite these. 

On the next episode, we’ll learn how to fund your property purchases, so tune back in next week! 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• What is a purchase lease option? “It’s where you rent a property from someone for a set period and you may buy that property anytime within that time period for a price that you have agreed upon at the beginning of the auction period.” This can be used with any property investing strategy. 
• Always offer the property owner something he can’t refuse, something that will be better than any alternative. It’d be best if it could cover their mortgage and give them enough profit. Tell them how much advantage they’ll get when they let you manage their properties. 
• How do you know if the purchase lease option is the appropriate solution for the seller? There are two groups of people who want to sell their property: 

• People who want to sell to access their equities now. 
• People who want to sell for someone else to manage it, to be responsible about it. 

• The best people to get purchase lease options are landlords since they got the right mortgage conditions. 

BEST MOMENTS 

“You have the right to buy but not the obligation to do so.” 

“It only works when the seller doesn’t need the money from the property sales NOW.” 

“I’ve been using this strategy since 2007, but right now is probably the very best time to use this strategy because what happened in April 2017, Section 24.”
