CREATIVE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES (1)

Creative property investment techniques are structured, ethical approaches used to solve real-world property challenges that conventional transactions often cannot address.

LEASE OPTION AGREEMENT

A Lease Option Agreement combines a residential tenancy with an option for the purchaser to buy the property at a pre-agreed price within a specified period.

Legal ownership remains with the vendor until the option is exercised.
